1020 steel is widely used in the industrial sector, however it is a reactive metal and susceptible to corrosion, being necessary to use surface coatings to corrosion protect the metal in corrosive means. The polyaniline and polypyrrole are conductive polymers that have the ability to inhibit corrosion when deposited electrode in organic media. In this work, corrosion protection was investigated through polyaniline and polypyrrole films electrodeposited in methanesulfonic acid medium. The films were electrodeposited by chronoamperometry and the corrosion tests were performed by potentiodynamic polarization in aggressive sodium chloride medium. The surface of the films was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. From the polarization it was observed that the polypyrrole film, in relation to the polyaniline film, showed better performance against corrosion. The MEV indicated that the polypyrrole film is homogeneous and adherent, while the polyaniline film showed flaws, allowing the interaction of the metal with the corrosive medium
