This research evaluated the corrosion resistance of an epoxy resin-based coat, reinforced with 0.1 and 0.5 wt% of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), applied to AISI 1020 carbon steel. Immersion tests in aqueous solution with 3.0 wt% NaCl saturated with CO2, in a pressurized cell at 70 bar at 40⁰C, for 528 h. The coating was evaluated by Pull-Off Test, microhardness (Shore D hardness), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The quality of the coating anchoring to the substrate, porosity, and thickness was evaluated. The presence of pits on the surface of the metallic substrate was assessed by Optical Microscopy (OM). The results obtained indicated that the addition of rGO contributed to greater corrosion resistance and provided better structural integrity to the coating. The results obtained showed that the coatings under the three conditions, as received and 0.1 and 0.5wt% rGO additions had the same efficiency in protecting the metallic substrate, avoiding pitting. Pore refinement occurred for 0.1wt % rGO, and the addition of 0.5wt% promoted a drastic reduction in pore density. The addition of rGO did not influence on the Shore D Hardness of the coatings. For a precorrosion test, the coating with 0.1wt% of rGO obtained higher pore density and lower hardness value, followed by 0 wt% and later 0.5 wt% of rGO. For the post corrosion test, the order is reversed. The results of the post corrosion test indicated that the porosity allowed the permeation of the solution in the coatings and is related to the bubbles and blistering, which influenced the hardness. The addition of 0.1 and 0.5 wt% or rGO did not affect the coating anchoring, obtaining reasonable accommodation in the irregularities of the substrate metallic surface.
