Hydrogen embrittlement in hydrogen pipelines can cause severe economic losses and safety hazards, thus research on efficient hydrogen barrier coatings is of great importance. In this study, a more efficient and easily operable non-covalent modification method was employed to modify carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) onto graphene oxide (GO), resulting in a significant improvement in the dispersibility and uniform distribution of GO in waterborne epoxy resin. Subsequently, a hydrogen barrier coating was prepared by incorporating the modified GO into waterborne epoxy resin. The influence of different doping concentrations on the coating performance was investigated. The basic properties of the coatings were characterized using macroscopic analysis, SEM, contact angle measurements, adhesion tests and electrochemical techniques. The corrosion resistance and hydrogen barrier effect was evaluated through electrochemical hydrogen permeation experiments. Results showed that The modified graphene oxide has good compatibility with epoxy resin. When the content of CGO was 0.25 %, the dispersion was best. the CGO coatings has some corrosion resistance with approximately 10 MPa adhesive force and 105 Modular value at the beginning of immersion. The CGO coatings significantly improved the hydrogen resistance of ×80 steel. The lowest hydrogen permeation current density was observed at 0.25 wt% CGO concentration, which indicated optimal hydrogen permeation inhibition capability. • The graphene oxide (GO) has been modified to CGO by carboxymethyl chitosan. • 0.25%CGO was best dispersed in the epoxy resins. • The CGO complex coating has some corrosion resistance. • The 0.25%CGO coating has superior hydrogen resistance performance.

Purpose: The impact of rolling on the performance of micro arc oxidation (MAO) coatings on ZM5 alloy has been underreported. The purpose of this study is to explore the correlation between rolling and the failure mechanism of MAO coatings in greater depth. Design/methodology/approach: The influence of rolling on the corrosion and wear properties of MAO coating was investigated by phase structure, bond strength test (initial bond strength and wet adhesion), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and wear test. The change of the surface electrochemical properties was studied by first principles analysis. Findings: The results showed that the MAO coating on rolled alloy had better corrosion and wear resistance compared to cast alloy, although the structure and component content of two kinds of MAO coating are nearly identical. The difference in interface bonding between MAO coating and Mg substrate is the primary factor contributing to the disparity in performance between the two types of samples. Finally, the impact of the rolling process on MAO coating properties is explained through first-principle calculation. Originality/value: A comprehensive explanation of the impact of the rolling process on MAO coating properties will provide substantial support for enhancing the application of Mg alloy anticorrosion.
