Ammonia corrosion resistance of surface-treated aluminum materials

Nanostructure of Materials and Corrosion Resistance

The application of nanotechnology in the field of corrosion protection of metals and alloys attracts the attention of researchers. Many of these applications require good understanding of the corrosion behavior of the materials as a function of microstructure. Significant prog‐ ress has been made in various aspects of synthesis of nano-scale materials. In addition, nanostructures promote select...

Importance of Corrosion Resistance in Dental Materials

For selecting an alloy or material to be used for implant procedure, it is necessary to remember that, there is a number of factors like corrosion behavior, mechanical properties, biocompatibility and cytotoxicity, and also the availability and cost, while the aesthetic measures needed are in a second priority. The most important property is corrosion behavior as it is responsible for the conti...

Corrosion Resistance Improvement of Aluminum by Hydrophobic Anodic Oxide Film

Diminishing surface wettability is an effective method to improve corrosion resistance of aluminum. Various techniques for preparing hydrophobic surface have been reported, most of which use organic coating as the final step. The key point to diminish surface wettability is to form a fine regular surface structure, and the porous type anodic oxide film (PAOF) has nano-pore structure, therefore ...

Trivalent Chromium Conversion Coating for Corrosion Protection of Aluminum Surface

Corrosion is the degradation or deterioration of metal components due to a reaction with the environment. Chromate conversion coating is applied to passivate metallic surface to slow down (and prevent to some extent) corrosion process. Chromate conversion process uses chromium compounds including hexavalent chromium, which is toxic, carcinogenic and hazardous to human health and environment. He...
