Abstract

This study involved a carbohydrate material: hydroxypropyl methyl-cellulose phthalate (HPMCP), a derivative of the biopolymer hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. It is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly material. This study tested the durability and corrosion resistance of HPMCP coatings on highspeed steel in solutions with different pH values and different immersion durations. The electrochemical tests included potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Water channels formed as the coating dissolved in an acidic environment, which degraded its corrosion resistance. However, with prolonged immersion, the corrosion resistance of the system was maintained because iron oxides and chromium oxides were generated between the HPMCP coating and high-speed steel. The corrosion resistance mechanism of HPMCP coatings is proposed and discussed.
