In this regard, the effect of bias voltage on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of coatings was studied. The microstructure of the coated specimens was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The corrosion behavior of the coatings was studied by potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) experiments and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the simulated media. Studies on SEM images showed that formed coatings at bias of -200 V exhibited the least amount of needle like cavities (0.4%) and macroparticles. Studying the effect of bias voltage on the corrosion behavior of the coatings deposited at three bias voltages showed that the maximum corrosion resistance was obtained at -200 V and this voltage had the least current density in polarization measurements (5.59×10-7 A/cm2). So, it was considered as the optimal bias voltage. %U https://www.abechem.com/article_245919_4069ad4654afb1b5938664ce7dbc1e69.pdf
