Until recently, chromium based coatings were in widespread use due to their high mechanical properties as well as corrosion resistance. However, more and more stringent environmental and health regulations demand the substitution of these composites due to their high toxicity. In this direction, progress in coating technology has made possible to develop free-chromate corrosion inhibitors which...

This article describes a self-healing coating for corrosion protection of metals, which combines two different types of self-healing mechanisms in one coating with multiple-healing functionality. 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) was loaded into layered double hydroxide (LDH) carriers that were mixed into an acrylated polycaprolactone polyurethane-based shape-recovery coating and applied on hot-dip...

Abstract The ferritic-martensitic 9Cr-1Mo steel was coated with a sol-gel ZrO2-3%molY2O3 solution by dip-coating. protective properties of the coating were evaluated in contact Solar Salt for CSP applications. and uncoated steels tested at 500 °C 2000 h. Gravimetric, microstructural compositional studies performed to compare their behaviour, against corrosion. Results revealed beneficial influe...

Conducting polymers (CPs), including polypyrrole, have attracted attention for their potential in the protection of metals against corrosion; however, CP coatings have the limitation of poor adhesion to metal substrates. In this study, a composite coating, comprising a self-organized porous anodic oxide layer and a polypyrrole layer, has been developed on iron. Because of electropolymerization ...

A new facile coating strategy based on the hydrophobicity of methyl groups was developed to prevent nano-sized magnetite particles from strong acid corrosion. In this method, three steps of hydrolysis led to three layers of protection shell coating Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Filled with hydrophobic methyl groups, the middle layer mainly prevented the magnetic core from strong acid corrosion. These ma...

For marine platforms, assessing the structural resilience in a corroded condition is vital for both design and maintenance practices. With the development of computational and experimental methods for structural analysis, the accuracy of the structural response prediction relies on a better understanding of the material degradation process. However, a realistic estimate of corrosion is inherent...

Background: This research article considers optimization of the four process parameters based on corrosion and wear of electroless Ni-P-Cu coatings. The major characteristics indexes for performance selected to evaluate the processes are corrosion potential (Ecorr), corrosion current density (Icorr) and wear. Among the corresponding four process parameters the first three are coating parameters...

in the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (pemfcs), low corrosion resistance and high interfacial contact resistance (icr) are two controversial issues in usage of aisi 316l stainless steel as a metallic bipolar plate. for solving these problems, investigation and development of different coatings and/or surface treatments are inevitable. corrosion behavior and icr of aisi 316l specimens c...

Co-Cr and Co-Cr/nano-TiO2 coatings were electrodeposited from Cr(III) based baths. The effect of TiO2 nano-particles incorporation on the morphology, structure, crystallite size, and preferred orientation was studied. Corrosion behavior of the composite coating was also investigated by means of polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques in Hanks’ si...
