Fig. 2. Bode plots of EP coating (a), EB coating (b), HF coating (c) and CSA coating (d) after different immersion time.
In Fig. 2, the EIS of the EP, EB, HF, and CSA coatings was performed
based on the Bode plot with various exposure times. According to the
literature, the impedance modulus at low frequency (|Z|0.01 Hz) was an
appropriate parameter for characterizing the protective properties of
the coatings [9,35–37]. A coating with good anticorrosion performance
should show the values of |Z|0.01 Hz above 108 Ω cm2, whereas a poor or
failed coating shows the values of |Z|0.01 Hz less than 106 Ω cm2 [38].
The plots of |Z|0.01 Hz against the immersion time for the EP, EB, HF,
and CSA coatings are presented in Fig. 3. The Bode plot for the EP
coating showed a high |Z|0.01Hz value (approximately 1.6 × 1010 Ω

good barrier property against corrosive ions. When immersion time Fig. 3. Evolution of |Z|0.01 Hz of EP coating, EB coating, HF coating and CSA coating with

All of the above analytical results indicated that the different forms
of PANI coatings could provide protection for the mild steel in 3.5 wt.%
NaCl solution. The PANI coating can protect the metals from several
kinds of possible mechanisms, such as barrier protection, corrosion
