The corrosion mechanisms of a vanadyl oxalate (VOC2O4) conversion coating on hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel were clarified as using VOC2O4 as an alternative to chromate has not yet been examined. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was utilized extensively for studying the elemental composition and doping level of coatings. Scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) technique was used to investigate the change in surface potential of HDG. Corrosion behavior of the conversion coating was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. With 10 s of dipping, V(IV) (tetravalent vanadium) was present in coating layers at a level of 80 at% to total V while V(III) (trivalent vanadium) at a level of 20 at%. During exposure in the desiccator, partial V(III) translation to V(IV) increased V(IV) concentration to 83 at%, due to oxidation by the ambient oxygen. V(IV) has a cathodance of the coating was achieved by the increase in V(IV) concentration in cic inhibition in the corrosion of HDG. An enhanced corrosion performoating layers over exposure time. Nevertheless, during neutral salt spray (NSS) V(IV) vanished and only V(III) retained a certain amount that played a major role in the corrosion inhibition of HDG.
