Corrosion protection coatings were developed based on a hybrid self-assembled nanophase particle process (HSNAP) for the localized corrosion resistance of modified 9Cr–1Mo steel in 0.05 M NaCl solution. The coating sol was prepared using silane-zirconia precursors and a polymeric crosslinking agent. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to study the morphology and composition of the coated specimens, respectively. The thickness of the coatings was determined by a thickness gauge meter and Raman imaging analysis. The corrosion resistance of coated specimens was analyzed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and it was observed that HSNAP-coated specimens showed superior resistance to localized corrosion than the as-received specimens in chloride medium.
