dc.description.abstractTi6Al4V alloy is light weight and is used in construction, oil industries and airbus, automobile, and bio implant materials. The native oxide layers of the alloy are not stable at high temperatures and strong mineral acid environments. The conventional epoxy-based layers are porous and the alloy finally fails in the harsh environment in the long term. Therefore, the carbon-based functional materials are being proposed as coating materials to overcome the alloy degradation. In the present contribution, we have used the neodymium-decorated graphene oxide as the corrosion inhibiting barrier for the Ti6Al4V alloy. As a novelty, we found that the few-layer graphene decorated with neodymium acts as a self-cleaning coating. The Nd-decorated graphene oxide were studied by XRD, TEM, FESEM, FTIR, UV, and Raman spectroscopy. The corrosion inhibition efficiency was studied by electrochemical methods.en
