Organic coatings are among the most efficient and practical approaches for protecting metal materials [1–2]. However, their barrier function faces numerous external threats, such as complex aging conditions, corrosive media, or mechanical harm [3–5]. Once these external factors destroy the organic coating matrix, a corrosive medium will rapidly penetrate through coating defects, reaching the underlying metal substrate and sparking corrosion. Persistent corrosion on a metal substrate drastically shortens its lifespan, potentially leading to safety hazards [6–7]. To fortify the corrosion protection of organic coatings, an effective strategy is to add corrosion inhibitors into the coating matrix [8–10]. These inhibitors form a protective layer on the metal surface, shielding it from direct contact with a corrosive medium, thus endowing the coatings with passive protective properties. Furthermore, in the event of coating damage, the inhibitor layer formed at the defects effectively curbs the corrosion process. Consequently, the integration of corrosion inhibitors into anti-corrosion coatings has been a focus of the field of corrosion and protection for decades [11–14].
Although corrosion-resistant coatings incorporating inhibitors have been extensively designed and studied, assessing their anti-corrosion properties largely relies on traditional ex-situ methods, such as electrochemical characterization [15–17] or surface composition analysis [18–20]. Although these methods evaluate the corrosion protection status or failure behavior of organic coatings at specific times, they cannot monitor real-time variations in their corrosion protection performance [21].
Recently, the atmospheric corrosion monitoring (ACM) technique has garnered considerable interest for instantaneously monitoring the corrosion resistance of metal materials [22–24]. ACM captures transient corrosion activities through an instantaneous galvanic current [25–26], the impedance modulus [27–28], or electrochemical noise values [29]. For example, Mizuno et al. [30] installed Fe/Ag double-electrode ACM sensors on vehicles for a three-month atmospheric exposure corrosion test. By comparing galvanic current integral values from ACM sensors with the corrosion rate of steel coupons, they found a strong linear correlation with a coefficient of 0.913. Furthermore, Pei et al. [31] combined the ACM technique with machine learning to investigate the correlation between the corrosion rate and various environmental factors, highlighting the substantial impact of rust formation on the corrosion prediction model.
Given the success of ACM in monitoring metal material corrosion, we propose using this technique to promptly detect the corrosion protection status of organic coatings. To test our hypothesis, we applied epoxy coatings with and without zinc phosphate corrosion inhibitors onto ACM sensor surfaces. Artificial scratches were introduced onto the coatings to simulate external mechanical damage. These sensors with different scratched coatings were exposed to immersion and alternating dry/wet environments to track the variation in corrosion protection properties. The morphology and elemental composition of the steel electrode surface beneath the scratches were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Moreover, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied to the various scratched coatings after specific immersion times to characterize their corrosion protection properties, aiming to confirm the reliability of ACM technology in monitoring the corrosion protection of organic coatings.

A schematic of the ACM sensor, depicted in Fig. 1, comprises seven sets of steel/graphite galvanic couples. Glass fiber-reinforced epoxy composite boards, 0.1 mm thick, provide electrical insulation between the carbon steel and galvanic electrodes. Each carbon steel anode of the galvanic electrode pair exposes an area of 21 mm × 1 mm. When an electrolyte film forms on the sensor surface, the steel and graphite electrodes link, initiating a galvanic corrosion current. Lead wires connect the ACM sensors to the micro-galvanometer and data logger, which monitor and record the current [31].
The ACM sensors underwent sequential abrasion using 150-, 240-, and 400-grit sandpapers before use, followed by ultrasonic cleaning with acetone and ethanol. The epoxy resin, comprising DAGBA and Jeffamine D230 at a molar ratio of 2:1, was prepared [32]. Initially, 15wt% zinc phosphate, relative to the weight of the epoxy coating matrix, was dispersed into DGEBA at 50°C under stirring for 3 h. This mixture was then combined with Jeffamine D230, stirred for an additional 15 min, and spread over the ACM sensor surface using a rod applicator. The applied coating, named ZP-15%, was cured at 55°C for 24 h [33].
Moreover, a reference specimen, the blank epoxy coating without any additive, was prepared and termed ZP-0% coating. The dry coating thickness of all specimens was measured at (60 ± 10) μm.
Initially, an artificial scratch was made approximately 80 μm wide and 5 mm long across three pairs of steel/graphite electrode couples on the ZP-0% and ZP-15% coatings. Subsequently, the ACM sensors with these different coatings were exposed to immersion and alternating dry/wet environments to investigate the corrosion protection variations. The alternating dry/wet experiments were conducted in a home-designed EA-08 type alternating dry/wet corrosion test chamber. For both environments, the electrolyte was a 3.5wt% NaCl solution. Each dry/wet cycle comprised 60 min, with 40 min of drying (at 40°C and (60 ± 5)% humidity) followed by 20 min of immersion in the electrolyte (at 25°C) [34]. The main experiments were conducted following GB/T 19746-2018. These coated ACM sensors were subjected to an alternating dry/wet environment for 9 d. Micro-galvanometers monitored and recorded corrosion currents in real-time, reflecting the corrosion behavior at the scratched areas of the coating, with current values being logged every minute.
Additionally, EIS measurements were conducted using an electrochemical workstation (PARSTAT 2273, AMETEK) to further explore the corrosion resistance of the different scratched coatings. The carbon steel electrode of the ACM sensor served as the working electrode, while the graphite electrode was used as the auxiliary and reference electrodes [35–36]. EIS measurements encompassed a frequency range of 105 to 10−2 Hz with a sinusoidal voltage perturbation of 20 mV. The surface morphologies of different coatings were observed using SEM (Regulus SU8100) equipped with EDS.
Fig. 2(a) depicts the instantaneous variation in the galvanic current (IACM-instant) of ACM sensors with different scratched coatings over a 7-d immersion period. Initially, during the immersion phase, the corrosion medium swiftly penetrated the sensor probe surface through the artificial scratch, initiating a galvanic current between the carbon steel anode and the graphite cathode. Consequently, the ZP-0% and ZP-15% coatings exhibited IACM-instant values of approximately 30 nA. As immersion time elapsed, the scratched ZP-0% coating demonstrated a gradual increase in IACM-instant, reaching approximately 70 nA after 80 h of immersion, signifying escalated corrosion activity at the scratched area. Conversely, the IACM-instant of the scratched ZP-15% coating decreased to approximately 20 nA within 12 h because a zinc phosphate inhibition layer rapidly formed at the scratched coating area. Throughout the prolonged immersion, the IACM-instant of the scratched ZP-15% coating consistently remained at ~20 nA, indicating sustained long-term inhibition performance.
To further quantify the corrosion extent of the carbon steel electrode at the scratched areas of different coatings, the IACM-instant values were integrated over the immersion period, generating the electrical quantity output of the ACM sensors (QACM-instant) using Eq. (1) for a data acquisition interval of 1 min [37].
QACM−instant=∑n=Tn=1(I1+I2+I3+⋯+In)Δt |
(1) |
where In is the IACM-instant value at the moment n = t (t = 1, 2, 3, …, T), and Δt is the time data acquisition interval, which is 1 min in this study.
As depicted in Fig. 2(b), QACM-instant has a lower slope for the scratched ZP-15% coating than for the scratched ZP-0% coating, suggesting a lower corrosion degree for the carbon steel anode coated with ZP-15%. The QACM-instant value of the scratched ZP-0% coating was approximately three times higher than that of the ZP-15% coating, primarily due to the corrosion inhibition effect induced by zinc phosphate.
EIS measurements were performed to further validate the corrosion inhibition property of zinc phosphate within the scratched areas of the coatings. As illustrated in Fig. 3, the capacitive reactance arcs of the ZP-0% coating were always smaller than those of the ZP-15% coating during 7 d of immersion in 3.5wt% NaCl solution, indicating the better corrosion protection property of the coating with zinc phosphate corrosion inhibitors. Typically, the low-frequency impedance modulus at 0.01 Hz (|Z|0.01Hz) indicates the corrosion protection efficacy of coatings [38–39]. During immersion, the |Z|0.01Hz values for the scratched ZP-0% coating gradually decreased because of the escalating corrosion reaction. Conversely, the |Z|0.01Hz values for the scratched ZP-15% coating progressively increased to approximately 106 Ω·cm2 after 3 d of immersion and remained consistent during subsequent immersion periods. Even after 7 d of immersion, the |Z|0.01Hz value for the scratched ZP-15% coating was nearly one order of magnitude higher than that of the scratched ZP-0% coating, showcasing the robust corrosion protection capability of the ZP-15% coating. From the phase angle plots, the phase angle values at high frequencies reflect the barrier property of coatings. The ZP-15% coating exhibited higher phase angles at 105 Hz, indicating its better corrosion protection property [40–42].
Figs. 4(a) and (b) showcase the SEM images capturing the carbon steel surface beneath the scratches of ZP-0% and ZP-15% coatings, respectively. Substantial loose corrosion products are evident in the image for the ZP-0% coating, contrasting with the noticeably reduced and more densely packed corrosion products beneath the scratch of the ZP-15% coating. In addition, Fig. 4(c) illustrates the elemental composition of the corrosion products at the scratch of ZP-15% coating, indicating the presence of Zn and P. These EDS result demonstrates that zinc phosphate effectively suppressed corrosion product accumulation and prevented coating failure [43–44].
Upon comparing the real-time monitoring outcomes of ACM sensors with the results from electrochemical analysis and corrosion morphology examination, a similar trend in the corrosion degrees in the scratched areas is observed using both methods. This comparison indicates the viability of the ACM technique for assessing the corrosion protection efficacy and failure behavior of organic coatings. In the subsequent section, the ACM sensors with various scratched coatings were subjected to an alternating dry/wet environment to further evaluate the corrosion protection performance of epoxy coatings integrated with zinc phosphate.
Fig. 5 illustrates the IACM-instant of ACM sensors with scratched ZP-0% coatings during alternating dry/wet tests. In Fig. 5(a), the IACM-instant variation for the scratched ZP-0% coating exhibits periodic behavior with a gradually increasing amplitude. This periodicity corresponds to the cycles of alternating wet and dry environments. Further delineated in Fig. 5(c)–(e) is the IACM-instant variations for the scratched ZP-0% coating at specific intervals. The amplitude of IACM-instant variation increases from approximately 10 nA on Day 4 to more than 40 nA on Day 8, indicating an escalation of corrosion activity.
In contrast, the IACM-instant of the scratched ZP-15% coating displays minimal evident cyclical fluctuations, consistently remaining at ~25 nA throughout the alternating dry/wet test (seen in Fig. 5(b)). This stability can be attributed to the early formation of a relatively steadfast corrosion inhibitor film by zinc phosphate on the scratch of the coating during the initial phase of the alternating dry/wet test. Despite the cyclic shift in environmental conditions from wet to dry, the infiltration of the corrosive medium was effectively suppressed, preventing further deterioration of the corrosion process.
To determine the variation in IACM-instant of ACM sensors coated with different coatings in the alternating dry/wet environment, the change rate of IACM-instant was calculated by differentiation, termed as I'ACM-instant. As depicted in Fig. 6(a), the I'ACM-instant values of the scratched ZP-0% coating sharply fluctuated around zero throughout the alternating dry/wet test. This volatility arises primarily from the unprotected exposed steel surface at the scratch of the ZP-0% coating, causing abrupt changes in corrosion activity with the shift between wet and dry environments. In contrast, the I'ACM-instant values of the scratched ZP-15% coating consistently approached zero, indicating a relatively stable IACM-instant value during the alternating dry/wet test, attributed to the inhibition effect of zinc phosphate.
To eliminate the influence of periodic changes in the IACM-instant value, the daily average value of IACM-instant (denoted as ĪACM) was calculated to analyze the trend in the variation in galvanic corrosion current values for different scratched coatings [45]. As depicted in Fig. 6(b), over 9 d of testing, ĪACM increased from ~33 to ~77 nA for the scratched ZP-0% coating and slowly increased from ~23 to ~25 nA for the scratched ZP-15% coating.
Furthermore, the corrosion progression of ACM sensors coated with various scratched coatings during the alternating dry/wet test was assessed through the variation in QACM-instant, as illustrated in Fig. 7. Notably, the slope of QACM-instant for the scratched ZP-15% coating was observed to be considerably lower than that of the scratched ZP-0% coating, similar to the results observed in the immersion environment. This comparison suggests that zinc phosphate provides ample corrosion inhibition even in alternating dry and wet environments for damaged coatings.
Fig. 8 displays the morphology of ACM sensors coated with different scratched coatings during the alternating dry/wet test. Following a day of testing, some corrosion rust was visible at the scratches of ZP-0% and ZP-15% coatings. With increasing test duration, rust formation increased substantially, notably more pronounced and expansive in the case of the scratched ZP-0% coating. The accumulation of corrosion products delaminated the coating scratch and severely corroded the metal electrode [46–47]. Conversely, fewer corrosion products were observed on the ZP-15% coating, further substantiating the corrosion protection attributes conferred by zinc phosphate to the steel substrate.
In summary, a steel/graphite ACM sensor was used to monitor the instantaneous variation in the galvanic current of a steel electrode beneath a coating scratch, assessing the corrosion protection efficacy of zinc phosphate/epoxy coatings. Throughout the immersion, the ACM current consistently remained substantially lower for the scratched ZP-15% coating than for the scratched ZP-0% coating. EIS measurements highlighted that the scratched ZP-15% coating surpassed the scratched ZP-0% coating in the |Z|0.01Hz value by nearly one order of magnitude after 7 d of immersion. Furthermore, the steel electrode surface beneath the scratch of the ZP-15% coating displayed fewer corrosion products, reaffirming the corrosion inhibition potential of zinc phosphate. During the alternating dry/wet test, the scratched ZP-15% coating exhibited notably lower and more stable ACM values than the scratched ZP-0% coating, confirming the superior corrosion protection performance of the ZP-15% coating. Consequently, the ACM technique demonstrates considerable promise in evaluating the corrosion protection attributes of organic coatings in real-time.
