A facile, low cost, and relatively environmental friendly method was presented for the fabrication of superhydrophobic surface on carbon steel substrate. The superhydrophobic surface was obtained by zinc electrodeposition and chemical modification with ethanolic stearic acid. The wettability of the superhydrophobic surface was measured by a water contact angle (WCA) with a highest value of 155.7°. The morphology of the fabricated film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical composition of the fabricated surface was analysed by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The corrosion resistance of the carbon steel substrate was measured by potentiodynamic polarization test in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The electrochemical measurements show excellent corrosion resistance, which may have promising applications in anticorrosion of carbon steel.

Both surface microstructure and low surface energy modification play a vital role in the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces. In this study, a safe and simple electrochemical method was developed to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces of Zr-based metallic glasses with high corrosion resistance. First, micro–nano composite structures were generated on the surface of Zr-based metallic glasses by electrochemical etching in NaCl solution. Next, stearic acid was used to decrease surface energy. The effects of electrochemical etching time on surface morphology and wettability were also investigated through scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurements. Furthermore, the influence of micro–nano composite structures and roughness on the wettability of Zr-based metallic glasses was analysed on the basis of the Cassie–Baxter model. The water contact angle of the surface was 154.3° ± 2.2°, and the sliding angle was < 5°, indicating good superhydrophobicity. Moreover, the potentiodynamic polarisation test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy suggested excellent corrosion resistance performance, and the inhibition efficiency of the superhydrophobic surface reached 99.6%. Finally, the prepared superhydrophobic surface revealed excellent temperature-resistant and self-cleaning properties.

When the water droplets are on some superhydrophobic surfaces, the surface only needs to be inclined at a very small angle to make the water droplets roll off. Hence, building a superhydrophobic surface on the material substrate, especially the metal substrate, can effectively alleviate the problems of its inability to resist corrosion and easy icing during use, and it can also give it special functions such as self-cleaning, lubrication, and drag reduction. Therefore, this study reviews and summarizes the development trends in the fabrication of superhydrophobic surface materials by non-traditional processing techniques. First, the principle of the superhydrophobic surfaces fabricated by laser beam machining (LBM) is introduced, and the machining performances of the LBM process, such as femtosecond laser, picosecond laser, and nanosecond laser, for fabricating the surfaces are compared and summarized. Second, the principle and the machining performances of the electrical discharge machining (EDM), for fabricating the superhydrophobic surfaces, are reviewed and compared, respectively. Third, the machining performances to fabricate the superhydrophobic surfaces by the electrochemical machining (ECM), including electrochemical oxidation process and electrochemical reduction process, are reviewed and grouped by materials fabricated. Lastly, other non-traditional machining processes for fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces, such as ultrasonic machining (USM), water jet machining (WJM), and plasma spraying machining (PSM), are compared and summarized. Moreover, the advantage and disadvantage of the above mentioned non-traditional machining processes are discussed. Thereafter, the prospect of non-traditional machining for fabricating the desired superhydrophobic surfaces is proposed.
