Graphene oxide due to its unique characteristics such as electrical, mechanical, thermal and corrosion resistance, has found great popularity among the scientific community. Graphene oxide coatings on metal surfaces prevent oxygen penetration, which can protect metals from environmental oxidation in a NaCl solution. However, the main problem is the poor adhesion of graphene-based coatings to most engineering materials. On the other hand, the use of graphene oxide suspension to produce electrophoretic deposition is challenging due to difficult control in the precitipation process. To solve these problems, there are many tricks, such as suitable preparation of graphene oxide suspensions, precitipation and surface modification methods. The purpose of this study was to prepare graphene oxide adhesive coatings on the 316 stainless steel substrate by electrophoretic deposition method and to study the various properties of the coating. Graphene oxide was initially synthesized from graphite by a Hummer modified method, and graphene oxide suspension was prepared in the acidic and alkaline media. In order to increase adhesion between the coating and stainless steel substrate, and to study the effect of surface modification, the surface of the samples was modified by electropolish and anodize methods. Then, electrophoretic deposition of graphene oxide was performed on prepared substrates by obtaining optimal conditions. Anodizing of stainless steel and increase in the oxide layer associated with it, improved the pasivation behavior of steel. During the EPD of GO sheets from the suspension, the GO sheets tend to orient randomly.For this reason, the intense peak (1 0 0) of the x-ray diffraction pattern of the synthesized graphene oxide powder is decreased in X-ray diffraction patterns of thick graphene oxide coatings. In the optical microscope images and scanning electron microscopy, the initial morphology of the anodized and electropolished steel surfaces is clearly seen behind the graphene oxide coating. As a result, the graphene oxide layers are electron and optical traarent. The recovery of graphene oxide during electrophoretic and subsequent heat treatment is based on Fourier transform infrared analysis results, Raman spectroscopy and thermal analysis. Graphene oxide thin film coatings can significantly improve the behavior of anodic coating pails. However, the growth of graphene oxide layers has increased the defects of electrophoretic coatings of graphene oxide and, therefore, thick coatings of graphene oxide have been analyzing the behavior of the patches. This can be due to the formation of a galvanic cell between the substrate and the graphene oxide coating due to the penetration of the corrosive solution to the coating through its imperfections. The thick coatings of graphene oxide can not act as a good barrier, but they can partially prevent local corrosion. Electrophoretic coating of graphene oxide under the same conditions as coating on the anodized steel surface compared to the electrolyzed surface, It has better patching behavior and higher localized corrosion resistance.
