The paper presents the results of studying the properties of composite coatings formed by the cold spraying technique on St3 carbon construction steel. As a result of the research, it was found that the introduction of super dispersed polytetrafluoroethylene into the composition of the coating increases the corrosion resistance of the basic copper-zinc coating. Analysis of the electrochemical tests results shows that the sample with the coating formed by spraying the copper-zinc particles and subsequent treatment with friction-applied SPTFE has a high corrosion protection. The best anticorrosion properties were revealed for the coating obtained with more processing steps, namely, with a sprayed base coating annealed at 500 ℃ for 1 h, with SPTFE applied by friction method and re-annealed at 350 ℃ for 1 hour. Corrosion current density Ic of such coatings is 25 times lower than the value of this parameter for the base copper-zinc coating.
