In this work, the effect of the ceramic filler on the corrosion resistance of the intumescent coated steel was investigated using static weight loss immersion test in 5 NaCl solution. Incorporation of BR led to 45 reduction in corrosion rate due to the passivation effect of the metal oxide on the steel-moisture interface. Modification of BR by ball milling further reduced the rate of corrosion by 79. Increased concentration of NaCl to 15 gave a negative effect due to increasing interaction with the surface hydroxyl groups. The ball milled BR IC system however maintained good corrosion resistance due to lower concentration of surface hydroxyl content. © 2018 Author(s). %Z cited By 1; Conference of 6th International Conference on Production, Energy and Reliability, ICPER 2018 ; Conference Date: 13 August 2018 Through 14 August 2018; Conference Code:141991
