However, the active chemical and electrochemical properties make them susceptible to corrosion in humid, seawater, soil,and chemical medium. Various strategies have revealed certain merits of protecting Mg alloys. Therein, engineering self-repairing coatings is considered as an effective strategy, because they can enable the timely repair for damaged areas, which brings about long-term protection for Mg alloys. In this review, self-repairing coatings on Mg alloys are summarized from two aspects, namely shape restoring coatings and function restoring coatings. Shape restoring coatings benefit for swelling, shrinking, or reassociating reversible chemical bonds to return to the original state and morphology when coatings broken;function self-repairing coatings depend on the release of inhibitors to generate new passive layers on the damaged areas. With the advancement of coating research and to fulfill the demanding requirements of applications, it is an inevitable trend to develop coatings that can integrate multiple functions(such as stimulus response, self-repairing, corrosion warning,and so on). As a novel carrier and barrier, porous solids, especially covalent organic frameworks(COFs), have been respected as the future development of self-repairing coatings on Mg alloys, due to their unique, diverse structures and adjustable functions.展开更多

Corrosion protection properties of vanadium-treated （V-treated）, chromium-treated （Cr-treated）, and untreated zinc surfaces in contact with a 3.5 wt.% NaC1 solution were studied using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）, and neutral salt spray （NSS） tests. According to these results, the V-treated layer significantly improved the corrosion resistance of zinc surfaces. In comparison with the Cr-treated layer, the V-treated layer exhibited a better corrosion resistance. The composition of the V-treated layer was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. XPS measurements indicated that the vanadium layer formed on zinc surfaces and the vanadium-rich coating was a hydrated oxide with a composition of V2O5, VO2, and its hydrates such as V2O5.nH2O and VO（OH）2.展开更多

In this study, the electrochemical method was adopted by using a two-electrode system for rapid hydrophobic modification to obtain superhydrophobic kaolin.By mixing the modified superhydrophobic kaolin with commercial epoxy resin and polydimethylsiloxane glue, a paint can be formed and easily used on various substrates for preparation of superhydrophobic coating via spraying method. The influence factors on wettability of the modified kaolin and the mixing ratio of each component of the coating were explored. Also, the wettability, durability and anticorrosion of the prepared coating were evaluated comprehensively. The coating was able to maintain superhydrophobic after immersed in HCl solution at pH 1, the NaOH solution at pH 14, and 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for 16, 21, 30 days, respectively. In addition, the coating exhibited 4A grade adhesion, high hydrophobicity after abraded for 200 cycles on a 600-mesh sandpaper with 100 g weight, and 99.86% anticorrosion efficiency after soaked in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for 20 days, demonstrating a good robustness and anti-corrosion property. Furthermore, the coating showed good transparency, flexibility and was easy to make in a large scale by the spraying method, which is of great significance to promote the practical application of superhydrophobic coatings and the anticorrosion Mg alloys.展开更多

The coated specimens were scratched. Characterization, including utilization of the localized technique SIET, measured the pH and p Mg distributions and optical morphologies around the artificial defects during immersion in 0.05 M NaCl solution. In contrast with phosphate loaded PEO/LDHs, a stronger alkalinization area(with pH 11.4~12.3) appeared in the passive PEO specimens. Due to formation of insoluble Mg(OH)_(2) products, the p Mg map showed depletion of Mg^(2+) in this high p H area. Combined with optical morphologies and SEM images, the better self-healing ability toward defects for phosphate loaded PEO/LDHs was confirmed.展开更多

The cross-section microstructures and chemical compositions of coating were examined using scanning electron microscopy(SEM) equipped with energy dispersive analysis of X-rays(EDX).Potentiodynamic polarization curves and salt spray tests were employed to evaluate corrosion protection of the coating to substrate in 5%NaCl solution.It is indicated that electroless copper produces a rough interface between the electroless copper layer and the ceramic layer.The corrosion potential shifts to the positive direction significantly and the current density decreases by more than one order of magnitude.There is no visible galvanic corrosion pits on the surface of the composite coating combination of PEO and electroless copper after 168 h neutral salt spray testing.The color of copper after BTA immersion could be held more than 60 d.展开更多

The corrosion protection of the waterborne epoxy coatings containing the adhesive polymers was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）. The results indicated that the PHEA-DOPA could improve the corrosion resistance of the waterborne epoxy coating. The corrosion products were also analyzed by Raman microspectroscopy（RM）, indicating the formation of the insoluble DOPA-Fe complexes on the carbon steel surface. These complexes simultaneously acting as a passivating layer, can inhibit the process of corrosion at the metal-solution interface. The differential scanning calorimeter（DSC） measurement indicated that PHEA-DOPA can increase the crosslinking density of coating. The effect of O;on the protective mechanism of the PHEA-DOPA coating in a 3.5% NaCl solution was also evaluated by EIS. The results indicated that the barrier effect was significantly improved under aerated conditions because DOPA was oxidized to DOPA-quinone（Dq） by O;, which triggered the reaction with Fe ions that were released from the surface of the carbon steel. This led to more compact coatings.展开更多

As a novel carrier and barrier, porous solids, especially covalent organic frameworks(COFs), have been respected as the future development of self-repairing coatings on Mg alloys, due to their unique, diverse structures and adjustable functions.
文摘Vanadium films were prepared on zinc surfaces by using a solution containing vanadate. Corrosion protection properties of vanadium-treated （V-treated）, chromium-treated （Cr-treated）, and untreated zinc surfaces in contact with a 3.5 wt.% NaC1 solution were studied using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）, and neutral salt spray （NSS） tests. According to these results, the V-treated layer significantly improved the corrosion resistance of zinc surfaces. In comparison with the Cr-treated layer, the V-treated layer exhibited a better corrosion resistance. The composition of the V-treated layer was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. XPS measurements indicated that the vanadium layer formed on zinc surfaces and the vanadium-rich coating was a hydrated oxide with a composition of V2O5, VO2, and its hydrates such as V2O5.nH2O and VO（OH）2.

文摘Superhydrophobic coating has been widely studied for its great applicational potential, such as for corrosion protection of magnesium alloys while it has been restrained by expensive materials, sophisticated preparation process and infirm rough structures. In this study, the electrochemical method was adopted by using a two-electrode system for rapid hydrophobic modification to obtain superhydrophobic kaolin.By mixing the modified superhydrophobic kaolin with commercial epoxy resin and polydimethylsiloxane glue, a paint can be formed and easily used on various substrates for preparation of superhydrophobic coating via spraying method. The influence factors on wettability of the modified kaolin and the mixing ratio of each component of the coating were explored. Also, the wettability, durability and anticorrosion of the prepared coating were evaluated comprehensively. The coating was able to maintain superhydrophobic after immersed in HCl solution at pH 1, the NaOH solution at pH 14, and 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for 16, 21, 30 days, respectively. In addition, the coating exhibited 4A grade adhesion, high hydrophobicity after abraded for 200 cycles on a 600-mesh sandpaper with 100 g weight, and 99.86% anticorrosion efficiency after soaked in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for 20 days, demonstrating a good robustness and anti-corrosion property. Furthermore, the coating showed good transparency, flexibility and was easy to make in a large scale by the spraying method, which is of great significance to promote the practical application of superhydrophobic coatings and the anticorrosion Mg alloys.

文摘To increase corrosion resistance of the sample,its electrical impedance must be increased.Due to the fact that electrical impedance depends on elements such as electrical resistance,capacitance,and inductance,by increasing the electrical resistance,reducing the capacitance and inductance,electrical impedance and corrosion resistance can be increased.Based on the fact that these elements depend on the type of material and the geometry of the material,multilayer structures with different geometries are proposed.For this purpose,conventional multilayer thin films,multilayer thin film including zigzag structure(zigzag 1)and multilayer thin film including double zigzag structure(zigzag 2)of manganese nitride are considered to protect AISI 304 stainless steel against corrosion in salt solution.These multilayer coatings including zigzag structures are prepared by alternately using the conventional deposition of thin film and glancing angle deposition method.After deposition,the samples are placed in a furnace under nitrogen flux for nitriding.The cross sections of the structures are observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM).Atomic force microscope(AFM)is used to make surface analyses of the samples.The results show that the multilayer thin films including zigzag structures have smaller grains than conventional multilayer thin films,and the zigzag 2 structure has the smaller grain than the other two samples,which is attributed to the effect of shadowing and porosity on the oblique angle deposition method.Crystallography structures of the samples are studied by using x-ray diffraction(XRD)pattern and the results show that nitride phase formation in zigzag 2 structure is better than that in zigzag 1 structure and conventional multilayer thin film.To investigate the corrosion resistances of the structures,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)and potentiodynamic polarization tests are performed.The results reveal that the multilayer thin films with zigzag structures have better corrosion protection than the conventional multilayer thin films,and the zigzag structure 2 has the smallest corrosion current and the highest corrosion resistance.The electrical impedances of the samples are investigated by simulating equivalent circuits.The high corrosion resistance of zigzag 2 structure as compared with conventional multilayer structure and zigzag 1 structure,is attributed to the high electrical impedance of the structure due to its small capacitance and high electrical resistance.Finally,the surfaces of corroded samples are observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM).

文摘This work produced a Mg Al-layered double hydroxide by hydrothermal treatment of a plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) coating on magnesium alloy AZ31 in an phosphate electrolyte, followed by an ion-exchange reaction in 0.1 M phosphate solution. The coated specimens were scratched. Characterization, including utilization of the localized technique SIET, measured the pH and p Mg distributions and optical morphologies around the artificial defects during immersion in 0.05 M NaCl solution. In contrast with phosphate loaded PEO/LDHs, a stronger alkalinization area(with pH 11.4~12.3) appeared in the passive PEO specimens. Due to formation of insoluble Mg(OH)_(2) products, the p Mg map showed depletion of Mg^(2+) in this high p H area. Combined with optical morphologies and SEM images, the better self-healing ability toward defects for phosphate loaded PEO/LDHs was confirmed.

文摘A novel composite coating was fabricated on AZ91 magnesium alloy by applying a composite surface treatment which combined the methods of plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)pre-treatment,electroless copper and benzotriazole(BTA)passivation. The cross-section microstructures and chemical compositions of coating were examined using scanning electron microscopy(SEM) equipped with energy dispersive analysis of X-rays(EDX).Potentiodynamic polarization curves and salt spray tests were employed to evaluate corrosion protection of the coating to substrate in 5%NaCl solution.It is indicated that electroless copper produces a rough interface between the electroless copper layer and the ceramic layer.The corrosion potential shifts to the positive direction significantly and the current density decreases by more than one order of magnitude.There is no visible galvanic corrosion pits on the surface of the composite coating combination of PEO and electroless copper after 168 h neutral salt spray testing.The color of copper after BTA immersion could be held more than 60 d.
文摘Polymeric nanofibers are a promising technology to protect the metal surfaces from corrosion.Through the literature search,the use of polyacrylonitrile nanofibres(PANNFs)as a corrosion inhibitor coating for aluminum alloys has not been evaluated.This work includes the development of a new,lightweight,high surface area and efficient coating of PANNFs that produced using electrospinning process to resist the corrosion of aluminum alloys(AA5083)which immersed in 0.6 M NaCl at alkaline medium(pH=12)and acidic medium(pH=1)at a range of temperatures(293–323)K.The PANNFs coating was successfully deposited on AA 5083 specimens,where these samples were considered as a collector electrode in the electrospinning process.The corrosion experiments of the aluminum alloys coated with PANNFs before and after immersion in both corrosive mediums were investigated using cyclic potential polarization(CPP).The results confirmed that the PANNFs coating was able to protect the surface of the aluminum specimens from corrosion,by reducing the corrosion current and increasing the surface polarization resistance,thus reducing the corrosion rate.The protection efficiency was found in the alkaline medium 98.8%while in the acidic medium 83.3%.So,it was in both mediums decreased with the increase in temperature.The shape,distribution and size of the polymeric nanofibers that formed the coating were also examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM)and the percentages of the structural components of these fibers were detected using the X-ray dispersion spectroscopy(EDS).The surface of aluminum specimens was completely covered by PANNFs.These electrospun nanofibers have worn out and lined up spacing after immersion in the corrosive mediums.The diameters average of PANNFs was found to be about 200 and 150 nm before and after immersion,respectively.

In this review, therefore, the current status and development of corrosion protection for FSW high-strength Al alloy joints are presented. Particular emphasis has been given to different protection methods ： lowering heat input, post-weld heat treatment, surface modification and spray coatings. Finally, opportunities are identified for further research and development in corrosion protection of FSW high-strength Al alloy joints.

文摘Carbonyl iron(CI)particles as magnetic microwave absorption material often suffer from serious corrosion under corrosive environment which leads to performance deterioration.In this study,fluorin-containing acrylate type polymer network layers with thickness ranging from tens of nanometers to around one hundred nanometers were formed continuously around CI.The crosslinked coating layer(named FT)effectively increases CI’s thermal decomposition temperature by at least 34%.The FT-coated CI(named CI-FT)was able to resist both inorganic and organic corrosive media attacking efficiently compared with bare CI.The surface polymer network could also help CI withstand organic medium dissolution which proved the firmness of coating.Cyclic voltammetry(CV)test revealed that the coating layer could significantly reduce maximum oxidation current density of CI by more than 45 times.Tafel polarization study during CV tests also confirmed that thicker FT coating layer could help CI sample stabilize corrosion current density.Meanwhile,the surface coating also enhanced the impedance matching properties of CI as microwave absorber and the CI-FT samples demonstrated improved microwave absorption properties which degenerated little after corrosive medium soaking compared with that of CI.

文摘The relatively poor corrosion resistance remarkably limits the wide applications of Mg alloys in practice,although they possess many attractive properties,like low density,high specific strength,and good biocompatibility.The formation of a protective coating can effectively suppress the corrosion.In this work,a slippery liquid-infused porous surface(SLIPS),with good surface hydrophobicity,stability,and self-healing property,was formed on AZ31 Mg alloys.The development of SLIPS requires suitable porous micro/nanostructures.Layered double hydroxide(LDH),with effective corrosion resistance for Mg alloys,was a good candidate to accommodate the liquid lubricant.Especially,different temperatures were applied to in situ form MgAl-LDH on AZ31 Mg alloys.The results showed that the temperature of 120℃was the best condition for the SLIPS to provide good corrosion protection for Mg alloys,with the lowest corrosion current density of 3.19×10^(-9)A cm^(−2).In addition,the SLIPS performed well in the long-term immersion test and abrasion test.The AZ31 Mg alloys with superior corrosion resistance and good mechanical and chemical stability can be extensively applied in areas of automotive,electronics,and aerospace.

文摘Magnesium(Mg)alloys show great potential to be extensively applied in practice owing to their superior properties,while the poor corrosion resistance does undoubtedly restrict their applications.Superhydrophobic coatings with good repellency to corrosive solutions can significantly decrease the interaction between the corrosive species and the substrate,so that they are receiving a lot of attention to improve the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys.Various strategies have been introduced to develop a superhydrophobic coating on Mg alloys,which were reviewed to elucidate the current research status to provide a clue or thinking for beginning researchers.Further,the existing issues of superhydrophobic coating were discussed,especially for their real applications in practice,mainly owing to their poor mechanical stability.Based on the existing issues,the future study was discussed to improve the stability of hierarchical structures and entrapped air pockets,impart the superhydrophobic coating self-healing property to repair the damaged area during service,provide double protection by incorporation of corrosion inhibitors,or even introduce slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces with lubricant layer to provide better corrosion protection for Mg alloys.

文摘A novel mussel-inspired adhesive polymer（PHEA-DOPA） containing the 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine（DOPA） functional group based on polyaspartamide derivatives was synthesized. The corrosion protection of the waterborne epoxy coatings containing the adhesive polymers was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）. The results indicated that the PHEA-DOPA could improve the corrosion resistance of the waterborne epoxy coating. The corrosion products were also analyzed by Raman microspectroscopy（RM）, indicating the formation of the insoluble DOPA-Fe complexes on the carbon steel surface. These complexes simultaneously acting as a passivating layer, can inhibit the process of corrosion at the metal-solution interface. The differential scanning calorimeter（DSC） measurement indicated that PHEA-DOPA can increase the crosslinking density of coating. The effect of O;on the protective mechanism of the PHEA-DOPA coating in a 3.5% NaCl solution was also evaluated by EIS. The results indicated that the barrier effect was significantly improved under aerated conditions because DOPA was oxidized to DOPA-quinone（Dq） by O;, which triggered the reaction with Fe ions that were released from the surface of the carbon steel. This led to more compact coatings.

文摘The Mg-Al layered double hydroxide(LDH)conversion coatings were first synthesized in situ to modify the AZ91 D alloy through urea hydrolysis to adjust the pH values(9.4,10.4,11.2 and 11.4).The pH 11.2 Mg-Al LDH possessed the best compactness and good crystallinity compared to other in situ LDH coatings and obtained the lowest corrosion current density(i_(corr))of(2.884×10^(-6)±0.345×10^(-6))A·cm^(-2),which was attributed to the anion-exchange reaction of LDH and the physical barrier against corrosion owing to the twisted penetration pathway of the interlaced LDH sheets.Core-shell structured Zn-Al LDH@ZIF-8 powder modified with stearic acid(SA)was further wrapped with polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)to prepare a hydrophobic double-layered coating on the underlying pH 11.2 Mg-Al LDH(SLLZ).The water contact angle(CA)of the SLLZ coating reached 105.6°,and its i_(corr)decreased to(3.524×10^(-7)±0.214×10^(-7))A·cm^(-2)compared with a single pH 11.2 film.The SLLZ coating exhibited high durability and corrosion protection,even after15 days of immersion in NaCl solution.The PVDF,SA and ZIF-8 nano-shells contributed to good hydrophobicity,effectively forming a physical barrier.The Zn-Al LDH core and underlying in situ Mg-Al LDH were beneficial for synergistically promoting anion-exchange reaction between the intercalated anions of LDH and chlorides in corrosive media.This work provides a promising approach that combines core-shell LDH@ZIF-8 with LDH film on a Mg alloy surface to construct a hydrophobic film with excellent longterm anti-corrosion performance.
