Corrosion protection of zinc alloy ZA12 using anodizing process in acidic media

Zinc Alloy Electrodeposition for Corrosion Protection

t is known that the protective value of zinc is partially a result of its ability to form a protective film when plated on a base metal, such as steel. The zinc is sacrificial and corrodes I preferentially to protectthe steel. Although pure zinc coating provides some degree of protection for the substrate, in a severe corrosion environment, zinc is consumed rapidly. For this reason, it is usual...

Zinc-Alloy-Plating for Corrosion Protection

Zinc represents the most effective and economic corrosion protection especially for steel base materials. Improved corrosion resistance can be achieved by alloying zinc with small amounts (around 1 Yo) of transition metal elements like Co, Ni and Fe. Zn-Fe and Zn-Co alloys containing up to 1.5 Yo of the transition metal were plated using an alkaline and acidic electrolyte respectively. Zn-Ni al...

Zinc Rich Primers for Corrosion Protection

Various types of zinc-rich coatings are available for corrosion protection. The challenges associated with the proper specification and application of zinc-rich coatings are briefly discussed. The paper then focuses on data from various studies, which quantify the corrosion protection benefits of various types of zinc-rich coatings. ZINC RICH COATING TECHNOLOGIES Zinc-rich coatings are used by ...

Effects of Anodizing Parameters in Tartaric-Sulphuric Acid on Coating Thickness and Corrosion Resistance of Al 2024 T3 Alloy

2024 T3 is one of aluminium alloys which are widely used in the aircraft structures. Anodizing of alluminium alloy in tartaric-sulphuric acid (TSA) electrolyte is developed to obtain more environmentally-friendly process and to produce anodize layer with better corrosion resistance. In this research work, the influences of anodizing parameters of Al 2024 T3 in TSA on the thickness, weight and c...
