Data on zinc phosphating of mild steel and its behaviour

Surface coating of A36 mild steel using zinc phosphating method was considered in this research work. The mild steel was immersed in zinc phosphating bath which was enhanced with calcium nanoparticles (obtained from snail shells and chicken eggshells). Data on zinc phosphating of the mild steel at different coating time (50 & 60 min) and coating temperatures (60 & 80 °C) was generated. To test the adhesion level of zinc on the mild steel, the coated mild steel was subjected to corrosion tests. And data on weight loss, corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency was generated. Surface morphology of the samples subjected to coating was determined through SEM analysis using SEM (JOEL-JSM 7600F). The data on the surface morphology of the samples is stored in the Mendeley Data repository with the link https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/bpbjfg5b5t/1
