Novel cold spray zinc-based alloy coatings have been investigated for corrosion protection of API 5L low carbon steel pipelines used in transporting natural gas. These different zinc alloy coatings are designed for use to help prevent internal corrosion and improve the lifespan of steel pipelines via sacrificial anodic protection. The corrosion behavior of these cold deposited zinc alloy coatings was investigated in CO2 saturated 3.5 wt.% NaCl solutions under simulated natural gas pipeline conditions. Electrochemical tests were conducted at 25 and 40 °C to determine the polarization resistance and galvanic current between each coating and the steel substrate in the galvanic couple. Tests were conducted at atmospheric, 1 bar, pressure. The results indicate that use of these coatings has the potential to increase the lifespan of steel pipelines above what a zinc coating alone could provide.
