The demand for hydrophobic polymer-based protective coatings to impart high corrosion resistance has increased recently. The increase of the hydrophobicity in a hybrid coating is a new challenge, for that reason and in order to protect a metallic surface of oxidant agents, a poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) coating with the addition of a different amount of silicon dioxide (SiO2) was developed. The hybrid coating was applied on a sample of stainless steel AISI 304 by the dip-coating method. The characterization of the coatings was determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and with a scanning electrochemical microscopy. The best coatings were PMMA and PMMA + SiO2 0.01% that exhibits a real impedance in the Nyquist diagram of 760 and 427,800 MΩ⋅cm2, respectively, and the modulus of the real impedance in the Bode diagram present values of 2.2 × 108 and 3.3 × 108 Ω⋅cm2. Moreover, the phase angle presents constant values around 75° to 85° and 85° for the PMMA and PMMA + SiO2 0.01%, respectively. Moreover, the values of the real resistance for the PMMA + SiO2 0.01% coating present values in the order of Mega-ohms despite the coating exhibits an artificial defect in their surface. The contact angle test showed that the hydrophobicity of the hybrid PMMA + SiO2 0.01% coating is higher than that of the pure PMMA coatings. The hybrid PMMA + SiO2 coatings developed in this work are a very interesting and promising area of study in order to develop efficient products to protect metallic surfaces from corrosion phenomenon.

The corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys depends on their microstructure, especially the presence of different intermetallic phases and precipitates. In this paper, the electrochemical behaviour of Mg1Ca and Mg1Ca1Si magnesium alloys has been investigated in the Ringer’s solution at 37 °C. In order to improve the corrosion resistance of these magnesium alloys composite coatings were fabricated by modification of a chitosan layer. The coatings were prepared by dip-coating in a chitosan solution and then modified by electrochemical deposition of a layer from a solution containing fluorine ions and water glass. The electrochemical performance of chitosan and chitosan modified coated alloys was evaluated by linear sweep voltamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The coated magnesium alloys possess suitable corrosion behaviour for the application as biodegradable implant material.

The inherent reactivity of Al–Cu–Mg alloys is such that their use for building structural, maritime, and airplane components with great strength/weight ratios would not be possible without good anti-corrosion systems. These systems could be considered as imitations of the protection mechanism found in the conventional hexavalent chromium-based system, but with additional limited environmental impact, and in particular without toxic or carcinogenic effects. These coatings also are intended to be eco-friendly, using less of the valuable raw materials and energy than more traditional methods. Silica-based hybrid protective coatings have been shown to exhibit excellent chemical stability combined with the ability to reduce the corrosion of metal substrates. However, research shows that sol–gel has some limitations in terms of the period of the anti-corrosive properties. Therefore, this work reports the performance of a silica-based hybrid sol–gel coating encapsulated with benzimidazole (BZI) that can be applied to light alloys to form an inherently inhibited and crack-free coating. This coating was applied on AA 2024-T3 and cured at 80 °C. The high corrosion resistance performance results from the combination of good adhesion, the hydrophobic property of the silica-based hybrid coating, and the presence of the encapsulated (BZI) film-forming volatile corrosion inhibitor, which is released at pores within the coating system, resulting in film-forming, reducing the reaction at cathodic sites. The evaluation of this mechanism is based on using electrochemical testing techniques. The anti-corrosion properties of the coatings were studied when immersed in 3.5% NaCl by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potential-dynamic polarization scanning (PDPS). The chemical confirmation was performed by infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), supported by analyzing the morphology of the surface before and after the immersion testing by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The benzimidazole-silica-based hybrid coating exhibited excellent anti-corrosion properties, providing an adherent protective film on the aluminum alloy 2024-T3 samples compared to sol–gel-only and bare metals, as a cost-effective and eco-friendly system.

Electrodeposition and characterization of novel ceria-doped Zn-Co composite coatings was the main goal of this research. Electrodeposited composite coatings were compared to pure Zn-Co coatings obtained under the same conditions. The effect of two ceria sources, powder and home-made sol, on the morphology and corrosion resistance of the composite coatings was determined. During the electrodeposition process the plating solution was successfully agitated in an ultrasound bath. The source of the particles was found to influence the stability and dispersity of plating solutions. The application of ceria sol resulted in an increase of the ceria content in the resulting coating and favored the refinement from cauliflower-like morphology (Zn-Co) to uniform and compact coral-like structure (Zn-Co-CeO2 sol). The corrosion resistance of the composite coatings was enhanced compared to bare Zn-Co as evidenced by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning Kelvin probe results. Zn-Co doped with ceria particles originating from ceria sol exhibited superior corrosion resistance compared to Zn-Co-CeO2 (powder) coatings. The self-healing rate of artificial defect was calculated based on measured Volta potential difference for which Zn-Co-CeO2 (sol) coatings exhibited a self-healing rate of 73.28% in a chloride-rich environment.

<p class="PaperAbstract"><span lang="EN-US">The possibility for combination between Anodized Aluminum Oxide (AAO) and Cerium Oxide Primer Layer (CeOPL) for elaboration of efficient protective coatings for AA2024-T3 aircraft alloy is proposed in the present research. The combined AAO/CeOPL coating characterizations include Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) combined with Linear Voltammetry (LVA), for extended times (until 2520 hours) to a model corrosive medium (3.5% NaCl). Topographical and cross-sectional (SEM and EDX) observations were performed in order to determine the AAO/CeOPL film thickness and composition. The AAO/CeOPL layer durability tests were confirmed by standard Neutral Salt Spray (NSS). The data analysis from all the used measurement methods has undoubtedly shown that the presence of AAO film significantly improves the cerium oxide primer layer (CeOPL) protective properties and performance. </span></p>

In this work the assessment of the corrosion performances in saliva solution of NdFeB magnets coated with silane layers was studied for its application in orthodontic brackets. The silane film, deposited by dip coating technique, has been prepared with varying dipping steps, with the purpose to identify the number of layers able to achieve an optimal protective action. Corrosion protection performance, during immersion in Fusayama synthetic saliva solution, was evaluated by means electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The silane coatings evidenced good barrier properties resulting in an improvement of the anti-corrosion performances of the magnets. Better results were observed for samples with at least 15 layers of silane, that evidenced still acceptable protective action after three days of immersion in a Fusayama synthetic saliva solution.

Vanadium oxide films were prepared via the sol–gel process and dip coating method, using V2O5as raw materials and H2O2(volume fraction 30) as the solvent. Mn and Ni ions were added to vanadium oxide sol to prepare doping vanadium oxide films. The films were characterized by atomic force microscopy, FT-IR, X-ray diffraction and electrochemical techniques. The add-on of Metal ions will not affect the morphology of the vanadium oxide films, but change the valence of vanadium ion and vanadium oxide crystal phase. Furthermore, cyclic voltammetry curves show that metal ions doping vanadium oxide films exhibit reversible electrochemical reaction. But electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicates pure vanadium oxide film has a better diffusion rate.

The corrosion performance of AISI-309 exposed 5 days to molten salts 50 mol% V2O5-50 mol% Na2SO4at 700°C is reported in this paper. Such evaluation was made using three electrochemical techniques: potentiodynamic polarization curve (PC), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and linear polarization resistance (Rp). FromPC, the Tafel slopes,Icorr, andEcorrwere obtained. From Nyquist and Bode plots, it was possible to determine two different stages; the first one showed just one loop, which indicated the initial formation of Cr2O3layer over the metallic surface; after that, the dissolution of Cr2O3formed a porous layer, which became part of the corrosion products; at the same time a NiO layer combined with sulfur was forming, which was suggested as the second stage, represented by two capacitive loops. EIS plots were in agreement with the physical characterization made from SEM and EDS analyses. Fitting of EIS experimental data allowed us to propose two electrical circuits, being in concordance with the corrosion stages. Parameters obtained from the simulation of EIS data are also reported. From the results, it was stated that AISI-309 suffered intergranular corrosion due to the presence of sulfur, which diffused to the metallic surface through a porous Cr2O3layer.

Tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles were successfully added to silicon oxide (SiO2) coatings deposited on A36 steel by the sol-gel and dip-coating methods. These coatings were developed to improve the performance of corrosion protection of steel in a 3 wt % NaCl solution. The effects of modifying the SnO2 particle concentration from 0–7.5 vol % were investigated by polarization resistance, Tafel linear polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The formation of protective barriers and their corrosion inhibition abilities were demonstrated. It was found by electrochemical studies that all of the coated samples presented higher corrosion resistances compared with an uncoated sample, indicating a generally beneficial effect from the incorporation of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, it was established that the relationship between the SnO2 content and the corrosion inhibition had parabolic behaviour, with an optimum SnO2 concentration of 2.5 vol %. EIS showed that the modified coatings improved barrier properties. The resistance for all of the samples was increased compared with the bare steel. The corrosion rate measurements highlighted the corrosion inhibition effect of SnO2 nanoparticles, and the Tafel polarization curves demonstrated a decrease in system dissolution reactions at the optimal nanoparticle concentration.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of sterilization on a hybrid coating obtained from a sol composed of alkoxysilane tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and organoalkoxysilane methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) containing 10% (mass) of hydroxyapatite particles. The coating was obtained by dip coating, by applying two layers (protective/bioactive), which were cured at different temperatures (450°C and 60°C). The effects of sterilization on the superficial, electrochemical, bioactive, and mechanical properties of the coating were evaluated by performing different sterilization processes, namely, steam autoclave, hydrogen peroxide plasma, and ethylene oxide. Subsequently, the coating was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM/FEG), and FTIR measurements were performed to characterize the chemical structure. The bioactivity and degradability of the coating were analyzed by mass variation after immersion in SBF and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The electrochemical behavior was assessed by open circuit potential (OCP) and potentiodynamic polarization curves and the mechanical behavior by wear resistance. Results showed that all sterilization processes caused significant morphological changes in the hybrid coating. The autoclaved sample presented the highest structural chemical changes, and, consequently, the highest degradability, even though it had a superior bioactive behavior in relation to the other samples. In addition, the sterilization processes influenced the electrochemical behavior of the hybrid coating and altered the mechanical resistance to abrasion, thus presenting lower wear performance in relation to the nonsterilized sample.

Epoxy coating formulations containing 1%, 3%, and 5% SiO2 nanoparticles were produced and applied on a mild steel substrate to achieve the objective of high performance corrosion resistance. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique was employed to measure the anticorrosive properties of coatings. The corrosion tests were performed by exposing the coated samples in a solution of 3.5% NaCl for different periods of time, varied from 1 h and up to 30 days. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed the presence of nanoparticles in the final cured samples. Establishing the incorporation of the nanoparticles in the coating formulations was confirmed by employing both of XRD and FT-IR techniques. The FT-IR spectra have proved to be satisfactory indicating that there was a complete reaction between the epoxy resin with the hardener. EIS measurements confirmed that the presence and the increase of SiO2 nanoparticles greatly improved the corrosion resistance of the epoxy coating. The highest corrosion resistance for the coatings was obtained for the formulation with 5% SiO2 nanoparticles content, particularly with prolonging the immersion time to 30 days.
