The present study investigated the active corrosion protection provided by superhydrophobic cerium stearate coatings. Superhydrophobic cerium stearate was deposited on anodized AA 2024-T3 at 40 V with different electrodeposition times using a simple DC electrodeposition technique to know the role of electrodeposition time on surface morphology, hydrophobicity, and corrosion resistance. We characterized the structure and morphology of cerium stearate to understand its formation mechanism. Electrodeposition process at 40 V for 120 min resulted in the formation of dual scale Allium giganteum like micro/nano hierarchical texture of cerium stearate with a water contact angle (WCA) of 165 ± 1.6°. The cerium stearate coating obtained for 120 min process time had excellent self-cleaning property and good chemical stability, environmental stability, and mechanical durability acceptable for industrial applications. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) were used to investigate the active corrosion protection of cerium stearate coating. The electrodeposited cerium stearate coating showed active corrosion protection based on self-healing ability by releasing cerium (Ce3+) ions.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to study the corrosion resistance of water-based sol-gel coatings containing titania nanoparticles doped with organic inhibitors for corrosion protection of AA2024 alloy. Design/methodology/approach – The coatings were obtained using tetraethylorthosilicate, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, titanium (IV) tetrapropoxide and poly(ethylene imine) polymer as cross-linking agents. As corrosions inhibitors, 2-mercaptobenzoxazole and salicylaldoxime were incorporated into the sol-gel for the improvement of the corrosion resistance. The corrosion protection performance of coatings was studied using the potentiodynamic scan and the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. Atomic force microscopy was used to investigate surface morphology of the coatings. Findings – The results indicated that doping the sol-gel coatings with inhibitors leads to improvement of the corrosion protection. The comparison of doped coatings confirmed that corrosion protection performance of the sol-gel coatings doped with 2-mercaptobenzoxazole was better than for the sol-gel coatings doped with salicylaldoxime. Also the EIS results verified self-healing effects for the sol-gel coatings doped with 2-mercaptobenzoxazole. Originality/value – This paper indicates 2-mercaptobenzoxazole and salicylaldoxime can be added as corrosion inhibitors to sol-gel coatings to improve their corrosion protective properties for AA2024 alloy.

Studies on fabricating robust superhydrophobic surfaces by a low-cost method have been rare, despite the recent demand for nature-inspired superhydrophobic surfaces including self-healing ability in various industrial applications. Herein, we propose a fabrication method for self-healable, robust superhydrophobic nanocomposite films by facile solution-processed spray coating and UV curing. The components of the coating solution include functionalized hydrophobic silica nanoparticles for producing high roughness hierarchical textured structures with low surface energy, and UV-crosslinkable v-POSS and bi-thiol hydrocarbon molecules to improve the film stability. As a result of the synergetic effect of the hydrophobic nanoparticles and UV-crosslinked polymeric compounds, the spray-coated and UV-cured nanocomposite films possess excellent superhydrophobicity (water contact angles > 150º) and high stability, in addition to self-healing abilities.

New treatments for replacement of chromate require lower toxicity and corrosion protection. This study aims to investigate the influence of the combination of a Ce conversion coating (CCCe) with glycol molecules on the corrosion resistance of the AA2024-T3 clad (AA1230). The corrosion resistance of surface treated and untreated samples was evaluated by electrochemical techniques (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, polarization tests and open circuit potential). These tests were complemented by salt spray tests to accelerate the corrosive effects of weathering. The surfaces were analyzed after corrosion tests by scanning electron microscopy with X-ray energy dispersive detector (SEM - EDX). The results of the CCCe samples in combination with glycol were compared with that of the surface with chromate layer and the results showed that the CCCe treatment is a candidate for replacement of chromating with the advantage that it does not generate toxic residues. The self-healing capacity of the new treatment tested was indicated by the increased formation of corrosion products deposition on top of Fe rich intermetallis in the AA1230 clad with time of exposure to the electrolyte.

Abstract In this paper, the formation, chemistry, morphology, and corrosion protection of a new type of inorganic conversion coating is described. This coating, referred to as a vanadate conversion coating (VCC), forms on aluminum alloy substrates in a matter of minutes during simple immersion in aqueous vanadate-based solutions at ambient temperatures. VCCs are yellow in color and conformal across the surface of aluminum alloy 2024-T3 (AA2024-T3 [UNS A92024]) substrates. Auger electron sputter depth profiles and x-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy show that VCCs formed by a 3-min immersion are 300 nm to 500 nm thick and consist of a mixture of vanadium oxides and other components in the coating bath. In anodic polarization experiments conducted in aerated chloride solutions, VCCs increase the pitting potential and decrease the rate of oxygen reduction. When characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, VCCs demonstrate a low-frequency impedance between 1 MΩ-cm2 and 2 MΩ-cm2 after 24 h exposure to aerated 0.5 M sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions. In salt spray testing conducted according to ASTM B117, VCCs suppress formation of large pits for more than 168 h. VCCs also appear to be self-healing. Analysis of solution in contact with VCCs by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy indicates that vanadate is released into solution upon exposure. Vanadium deposits were identified by x-ray microchemical analysis on a bare alloy substrate held in close proximity to a vanadate conversion-coated surface, and corrosion resistance of this bare surface was observed to increase during exposure. An important component of VCC formation appears to involve inorganic polymerization of V5+, which leads to the buildup of a film that passivates the surface and inhibits corrosion.

A hybrid sol synthesized from an acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and condensation reaction of 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and zirconium n-propoxide was used as a matrix nanocomposite sol. To this sol, 0.01 M Ce3+ was added as an inhibitor to provide a self-healing coating system. The effect of an atmospheric air plasma surface pretreatment of aluminum alloy substrates prior to coating deposition of Ce3+-doped/undoped GPTMS-ZrO2 sol was studied with respect to corrosion protection. Coatings were generated by a dip coating technique employing a withdrawal speed of 5 mm/s and thermally cured at 130° C for 1 h. The coated Al surfaces were characterized using potentiodynamic polarization studies and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. They were also subjected to accelerated corrosion testing using neutral salt spray test with 5% NaCl solution after creating an artificial scratch for more than 200 hours to assess the self-healing ability of coatings. It was observed that cerium (III) doping was effective for corrosion protection during long-term exposure to the electrolyte solution, and a plasma surface pretreatment of substrates prior to coating deposition of Ce3+-doped coatings improved the adhesion of coatings that provides enhanced corrosion protection along with self-healing ability exhibited in case of damages/scratches caused in the coating.

Corrosion is one of the challenging issues faced by many industries, causing substantial economic losses every year due to the degradation of metallic parts, raising many safety concerns. Therefore, it is of utmost relevance to developing strategies that can repair the damaged part of the coatings to protect the base metal and restrict the initiation of corrosion. Towards this direction, the concept of double-layered polymeric coatings (DLPCs) for corrosion protection is introduced as a novel strategy to bring different healing functionalities into coating matrices. The developed DLPCs are composed of a top layer containing 5wt. % of melamine urea-formaldehyde microcapsules (MUFMC) encapsulating boiled linseed oil (self-healing agent), and bottom layer having 3wt. % benzotriazole (corrosion inhibitor) loaded into halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). The DLPCs were developed on mild steel substrate employing a doctor blade technique. The electrochemical analyses indicates that the DLPCs demonstrate improved corrosion resistant properties. This improved performance can be ascribed to the efficient triggering of the individual carriers in the quarantined matrix, resulting in enhanced corrosion efficiency of the DLPCs. The promising characteristics of DLPCs make them suitable for many potential industrial applications.

Polyaniline has been widely developed for many applications, e.g. sensor, supercapacitor components, electrochromic devices, and anticorrosion pigments. Although the addition of polyaniline pigment in organic coatings has been an alternative for corrosion protection in industrial applications, the protection mechanism is still not fully understood. Herein in this study, as a part of the development of polyaniline/silicon dioxide coating for geothermal application, polyaniline has been deposited electrochemically on carbon steel surface in oxalic acid medium and tested in geothermal solution to understand the contribution of polyaniline to the corrosion protection of a polyaniline-based composite in the geothermal system. To observe the surface/interface reaction between the electrolyte and electrode surface during the electrochemical polymerization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied after each cycle. For corrosion study in the geothermal application, an artificial geothermal solution was used with the composition of 1,500 mg/l Cl-, 20 mg/l SO42-, 15 mg/l HCO3-, 200 mg/l Ca2+, 250 mg/l K+, and 600 mg/l Na+, and pH 4 to simulate a geothermal brine found in Sibayak, Indonesia. An electrochemical measurement was performed by monitoring the open circuit potential over seven days, with the interruption by EIS every 22 hours. The experiments were performed at room temperature and 150 °C (1 MPa) in an oxygen-free environment. Impedance spectra showed a reduction of the total impedance value of approximately 10 times for specimens measured at 150 °C compared to the specimens measured at room temperature, suggesting a less stable layer at high temperature.

Nanostructured hybrid silica/epoxy films containing boehmite nanoparticles were investigated in the present work as pretreatments for AA2024 alloy. To produce the nanocomposite sol-gel films, boehmite nanoparticles prepared from hydrolysis/condensation of aluminum isopropoxide ( AlI ) were doped into another hybrid organosiloxane sol. The produced oxide nanoparticles have the capability to act as nanoreservoirs of corrosion inhibitors, releasing them controllably to protect the metallic substrate from corrosion. For this purpose the corrosion inhibitor, cerium nitrate, was introduced into the sol-gel system via loading the nanoparticles. The morphology and the structure of the hybrid sol-gel films were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The corrosion protection properties of the films were investigated by Potentiodynamic Scanning (PDS) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the presence of boehmite nanoparticles highly improved the corrosion protection performance of the silica/epoxy coatings. Moreover, they can act as nanoreservoirs of corrosion inhibitors and provide prolonged release of cerium ions, offering a self-healing property to the film.
