Abstract: High strength aluminum alloys typically used in the aerospace industry are provided with coatings for corrosion protection. One of the coating layers is the primer, containing corrosion inhibiting pigments. Conventionally chromate pigments have been used but they are carcinogenic; so there is a need to develop environment-friendly alternatives that can match the corrosion inhibition of chromates. In this study, the use of hydrotalcites as corrosion-inhibiting pigments in organic coatings has been explored. Hydrotalcites are anion clays with excellent ion-exchange capabilities, and for this reason they have been used in industry as anion scavengers. Vanadates are excellent inhibitors of Al alloy corrosion. A Zn-Al-decavanadate hydrotalcite (HT-V) was synthesized and its ion exchange properties characterized. From instrumental neutron activation studies, it was determined that inhibitor release was a small fraction of the total inhibitor in the pigment. However, this was sufficient to provide appreciable corrosion inhibition to Al alloys during potentiodynamic polarization. Additionally, inhibitor release occurred even when these pigments were dispersed in epoxy resins and applied to Al alloys. A bare surface in close proximity to the coating was also inhibited from corrosion. Lastly, coatings containing the HT-V pigment performed well in a salt spray environment, protecting scribe corrosion up to [approx.] 1000 h exposure. Blistering problems encountered during this test were overcome by silane additions to the coating, which improved adhesion and controlled blistering.

A smart coating is defined as one that changes its properties in response to an environmental stimulus. The Handbook of Smart Coatings for Materials Protection reviews the new generation of smart coatings for corrosion and other types of material protection. Part one explores the fundamentals of smart coatings for materials protection including types, materials, design, and processing. Chapters review corrosion processes and strategies for prevention; smart coatings for corrosion protection; techniques for synthesizing and applying smart coatings; multi-functional, self-healing coatings; and current and future trends of protective coatings for automotive, aerospace, and military applications. Chapters in part two focus on smart coatings with self-healing properties for corrosion protection, including self-healing anticorrosion coatings for structural and petrochemical engineering applications; smart self-healing coatings for corrosion protection of aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys and steel; smart nanocoatings for corrosion detection and control; and recent advances in polyaniline-based organic coatings for corrosion protection. Chapters in part three move on to highlight other types of smart coatings, including smart self-cleaning coatings for corrosion protection; smart polymer nanocomposite water- and oil-repellent coatings for aluminum; UV-curable organic polymer coatings for corrosion protection of steel; smart epoxy coatings for early detection of corrosion in steel and aluminum; and structural ceramics with self-healing properties. The Handbook of Smart Coatings for Materials Protection is a valuable reference for those concerned with preventing corrosion, particularly of metals, professionals working within the surface coating industries, as well as all those with an academic research interest in the field. - Reviews the new generation of smart coatings for corrosion and other types of material protection - Explores the fundamentals of smart coatings for materials protection including types, materials, design, and processing - Includes a focus on smart coatings with self-healing properties for corrosion protection
This book highlights scientific advancements and recent applications of nanotechnology in polymeric coatings. Key focus areas are nanocomposite coatings, nanostructured specialty coatings, and advanced characterization techniques.
Corrosion is an expensive and potentially dangerous problem in many industries. The potential application of different nanostructured materials in corrosion protection, prevention and control is a subject of increasing interest. Corrosion protection and control using nanomaterials explores the potential use of nanotechnology in corrosion control.The book is divided into two parts. Part one looks at the fundamentals of corrosion behaviour and the manufacture of nanocrystalline materials. Chapters discuss the impact of nanotechnology in reducing corrosion cost, and investigate the influence of various factors including thermodynamics, kinetics and grain size on the corrosion behaviour of nanocrystalline materials. There are also chapters on electrodeposition and the corrosion behaviour of electrodeposited nanocrystalline materials. Part two provides a series of case studies of applications of nanomaterials in corrosion control. Chapters review oxidation protection using nanocrystalline structures at various temperatures, sol- gel and self-healing nanocoatings and the use of nanoreservoirs and polymer nanocomposites in corrosion control.With its distinguished editors and international team of expert contributors, Corrosion protection and control using nanomaterials is an invaluable reference tool for researchers and engineers working with nanomaterials in a variety of industries including, aerospace, automotive and chemical engineering as well as academics studying the unique protection and control offered by nanomaterials against corrosion. - Explores the potential use of nanotechnology and nanomaterials for corrosion prevention, protection and control - Discusses the impact of nanotechnology in reducing corrosion cost and investigates various factors on the corrosion behaviour of nanocrystalline materials - Provides a series of case studies and applications of nanomaterials for corrosion control
