Graphene layers for corrosion protection of steel

Graphene coatings have previously been used on various metals to prevent corrosion. The corrosion of steels in modern environments is a costly and ongoing issue that may be aided by graphene coatings. This project focused on forming graphene coatings formed on steel samples in a quartz-tube furnace. The coatings were analysed for their quality, and corrosion testing was performed on the coated steel. The graphene coatings were found to have superior corrosion resistance compared to uncoated samples
