Abstract: The use of nanoparticles has become very important in many industrial applications for its important role in improving all the properties including thermal, electrical, mechanical and chemical in the different environments. In this study, TiO2 nanoparticles used to improve corrosion resistance of carbon steel by using a sol-gel method. Coating of nanoparticles done by using a spin coating method. Several tests such as XRD, SEM and EDS were used to analyze the morphology, crystalline phase and composition of coatings. The corrosion resistance of nanoparticles evaluated using Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance analysis. The results showed a homogeneous distribution of nanoparticles on the surface of carbon steel without cracks and flaking off from substrate. Also, corrosion resistance for carbon steel was increased and icorr was decreased from 27.72-0.4862 μA/cm2.
