Experimental study on the microstructural and anti-corrosion behaviour of Co-deposition Ni–Co–SiO2 composite coating on mild steel

Mild steel is commonly used in the construction of Pipeline. The major problem of this Pipeline is corrosion. Effort is make my researchers to combat this problem. In this work Co-deposition of Ni-Co-SiO2 composite coating on mild steel was reported with the view to reduce this problem. The SiO2 was...
