In order to prevent corrosion of mild steel substrates during coating deposition, specimens were pretreated in 0.5M oxalic acid solution, employing galvanostatic method. This would passivate the steel substrate and facilitate the coating process as well. Corrosion resistance of coated substrates was investigated in 1M NaCl solution using Tafel polarization technique.
