We describe the technologically simple route for the fabrication of the superhydrophobic coatings on top of wrought magnesium alloy MA8 based on nanosecond laser processing followed by the chemical vapor deposition of fluorosilane. The chemical and phase composition, surface morphologies, and variation of the coating wettability during prolonged contact with 0.5 NaCl solution or with salt aerosol were characterized using X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy measurements, and the wettability analysis. The as-prepared coatings demonstrate corrosion current of more than eight orders of magnitude lower, while after 30 days of sample immersion into corrosive solution, the current was four orders of magnitude lower than that obtained for a polished sample which was for only 2 h in contact with electrolyte. The mechanisms of the protective activity of fabricated coatings were discussed.

Abstract Increasing interests have been prevalent lately among the research fraternity for the development of superhydrophobic surfaces considering the favorable properties exuded by them. Recently, anti-microbial superhydrophobic coatings have been employed effectively in anti-biofouling, corrosion resistance, and self-cleaning, anti-reflecting coating, biomedical and cavitation erosion applications. Further, patterned topology by micro/nano surface texturing has been perceived as an engineering opportunity to enhance the surface performance and has opened various avenues for exploration. This work reports the recent research findings pertaining to the concept of superhydrophobicity and micro-texturing particularly in the context of their application for the impediment of corrosion in submerged components. The comprehensive review on superhydrophobic surfaces and micro-texturing suggests that the integrated application of these surface modification techniques for mechanical interlocking of deposited coating.

Anti-icing or passive strategies have undergone a remarkable growth in importance as a complement for the de-icing approaches or active methods. As a result, many efforts for developing icephobic surfaces have been mostly dedicated to apply superhydrophobic coatings. Recently, a different type of ice-repellent structure based on slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) has attracted increasing attention for being a simple and effective passive ice protection in a wide range of application areas, especially for the prevention of ice formation on aircrafts. In this work, the electrospinning technique has been used for the deposition of PVDF-HFP coatings on samples of the aeronautical alloy AA7075 by using a thickness control system based on the identification of the proper combination of process parameters such as the flow rate and applied voltage. In addition, the influence of the experimental conditions on the nanofiber properties is evaluated in terms of surface morphology, wettability, corrosion resistance, and optical transmittance. The experimental results showed an improvement in the micro/nanoscale structure, which optimizes the superhydrophobic and anticorrosive behavior due to the air trapped inside the nanotextured surface. In addition, once the best coating was selected, centrifugal ice adhesion tests (CAT) were carried out for two types of icing conditions (glaze and rime) simulated in an ice wind tunnel (IWT) on both as-deposited and liquid-infused coatings (SLIPs). The liquid-infused coatings showed a low water adhesion (low contact angle hysteresis) and low ice adhesion strength, reducing the ice adhesion four times with respect to PTFE (a well-known low-ice-adhesion material used as a reference).

Superhydrophobic coatings were fabricated through a one-step electrochemical process onto the surface of 316L stainless steel samples. The presence of hierarchical structures at micro/nanoscale and manganese stearate into the coatings gave superhydrophobicity to the coating, with contact angle of ~160°, and self-cleaning ability. Corrosion resistance of 316L samples was also assessed also after the electrodeposition process through Electrochemical Impedance Spectra recorded in an aqueous solution mimicking seawater condition.
