Because of its wide applications in the industry, the electrodeposition of Ni/Mo as corrosion barrier and decorative coating took the attention of numerous researchers. This paper aims to study the effect of electroplating current density on different characteristics of Ni/Mo alloy coatings, especially on the morphology and electrochemical comportment in 3.5 per cent NaCl corrosion medium.

In this paper, the authors have used electrodeposition technique to codeposite molybdenum particles in nickel matrix as protective coating against corrosion attacks, in addition to test the intensification of hydrogen reaction of this alloy coatings using EIS technique.

Ni-Mo alloy coating is well adherent to the substrate. The deposited Ni-Mo was observed to be fissured and porous in morphology. The main phases identified in different exposed coatings are MoNi4, Ni3Mo and Mo1.24Ni0.76. The effect of applied current density on electrochemical properties was studied. Inhibitory efficiency of gum arabic was controlled by the electroplating current density.

In this paper, the authors report on the presence of Mo particles in Ni matrix also the effect of electroplating current density on different properties of alloy coatings Ni/Mo. This is significant because it reports on the effect of current density on Ni/Mo electrodeposited at economic conditions like low temperature and moderate pH. Moreover, this paper gives a solution to the corrosion of crude oil desalter by using Ni-Mo coatings and then injecting a small amount of gum arabic in the oil pipeline before dissalement which gives long life to the reactor.
