Abstract

Sn coatings were electrodeposited at four different temperatures (24 Ë�C, 47 Ë�C, 70 Ë�C, and 80 Ë�C) over mild steel. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed the highest and lowest corrosion resistance for Sn coating fabricated at 70 Ë�C (Sn3 coating) and 80 Ë�C, respectively. Electron backscattered diffraction technique was utilized to correlate the electrochemical properties with the coating texture. A significant increase in the low angle grain boundary fraction was noticed with an increase in the electrodeposition temperature. Five-parameter grain boundary character distribution analysis revealed that the highest fraction of (031)01 Ì 3 twin boundaries at 62.8Ë�/100 misorientation and a high fraction of exposed low energy {100} planar orientations led to the highest corrosion resistance for Sn3 coating. Whereas a low fraction of (031)01 Ì 3 twin boundaries with a high fraction of exposed high energy â��near-(110)â�� planar orientations led to the poor corrosion resistance of Sn coating fabricated at 80 Ë�C. © 2021
