Abstract

Metal corrosion poses a persistent challenge in industrial applications. In this study, a stable superhydrophobic nickel-based composite plating with enhanced anti-corrosion performance was fabricated on hot-rolled alloy structural steel (SCM435) via a two-step electrodeposition method. The effects of PTFE content, lauric-acid concentration, deposition current, and treatment time on the plating properties were systematically investigated. The optimal plating (SF-3), prepared under the conditions of 15 g/L PTFE, 0.6 g/L lauric acid, a deposition current of 0.1 A (corresponding to a current density of 0.025 A·cm⁻²), and a treatment time of 6 min, exhibited a hierarchical rose-like micro-nanostructure. This plating achieved excellent superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 151 ± 0.5°, a low corrosion current density (I_corr = 7.01 × 10⁻⁸ A·cm⁻²), and a high polarization resistance (R_f = 625.84 Ω·cm²). The low-cost Ni-PTFE/Ni-LA superhydrophobic composite plating demonstrates significant potential for industrial corrosion-protection applications.
