Abstract Zn–carbon nanotubes composite coatings were obtained from a sulphate bath containing dispersed carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The electrochemical and weight loss measurements were made to find the corrosion behavior of composite coating. The presence of carbon nanotubes shifts the potential of zinc deposit to more positive values. The composite coatings were porous free and the service life of coating was examined by salt spray test. The electrochemical studies revealed higher resistance of composite coatings to corrosion. The surface morphology was investigated by recording the SEM images of coating before and after corrosion. The mechanism of action against corrosion was established.
