Superhydrophobic surface has attracted great attention because of its potential applications. In this work, a facile method for fabrication of a superhydrophobic coating on pipeline steel surface is reported. A hierarchical structured coating with nanoflakes was fabricated via electrodeposition and solution immersion, and then the coating achieved superhydrophobic with water contact angle about 157 degrees and sliding angle around 3 degrees after fluorination modification. The surface morphology and wettability changed with different experimental parameters were also investigated. The prepared superhydrophobic coating exhibited efficient self-cleaning and anticorrosion properties. Furthermore, the anti-scaling property of this superhydrophobic coating was confirmed since the CaCO3 crystals on the superhydrophobic coating were mainly needlelike compared to the rhombohedral CaCO3 crystals on the surface of steel substrate. This superhydrophobic coating maintained good long-term stability in air, and mechanical and thermal stability under certain environment. This superhydrophobic coating provided potential multifunctional applications, such as self-cleaning, corrosion resistance and anti-scaling properties, of deposition metal or alloy coating.
