Abstract

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composite coatings reinforced with different concentrations (1, 3, 6, and 9 wt%) of submicron tungsten carbide (WC) particles were synthesized using electrostatic sprayed method, characterized and evaluated for corrosion resistance in 1 m HCl electrolytic solution. Results showed that the mechanical properties and adhesion strength of the coatings improved with the increasing WC content to an optimum loading of 6 wt%. These properties slightly dropped when the WC content was further increased to 9 wt% due to agglomeration of the WC particles. Furthermore, both the potentiodynamic polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement confirmed the high corrosion protection efficiency of the UHMWPE/WC composite coatings over the pristine UHMWPE coating to a minimum of 80% improvement. The 1 wt% WC reinforced UHMWPE coating exhibited the highest corrosion resistance due to better dispersion of the WC particles in the matrix.
