Popis: The ASTM A36 structural steel was evaluated with the electrochemical techniques, Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Electrochemical Noise (EN). The techniques were applied to the bare steel substrate, coated, and coated with the addition of SiO2 nanoparticles (NP). The applied coating was a commercial epoxy of two layers. Stöber method was used to obtain the NP and were characterized with X-Ray Diffraction. A coating improved was obtained in the first day of immersion, according to EIS results, that it shows higher impedance compared with the coating without NP. Moreover, with the RE it was possible to observe that the NP reinforced coating showed a better anticorrosive performance, having a localized and mixed corrosion morphology.
