Corrosion of metallic components represents a major issue in the aeronautical sector, giving
rise to safety concerns and significant financial damages. Conversion coatings (CC) based …

Rare earths are among the most promising options for replacing chromate conversion
coatings on aluminium. In nearly three decades of research, several hundred papers have …

The corrosion behaviour of AM60 containing Ce or La (AMRE1) under thin electrolyte layers
(TEL) in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was investigated by cathodic polarization and EIS. The …

The corrosion, microstructure, and hardness of nanocrystalline AA5083 were compared to
that of conventional AA5083-H116 and consolidated gas atomized powder. The …

Anticorrosive protection of Al alloys still depends heavily on the use of chromates, which are
widely and universally employed as chromate conversion coating and chromic acid …

The purpose of this study is to select a common commercial Mg alloy to function as an
anode for Mg-air batteries, with low anode passivation and minimal hydrogen evolution …

This paper reports a study carried out on the morphological characteristics the Al–Cu alloy
AA2017-T3; its behaviour against corrosion in aqueous solutions of NaCl 0.59 M has been …

This paper describes the deep analysis of cerium conversion coatings developed with
thermal activation on AA5083 under optimum processing conditions. Scanning electron …

This paper analyzed the effect of long period stacking ordered phases (LPSO) and aged-
precipitations on corrosion behavior of Mg–6Gd–2Y–1Zn–0.3 Zr magnesium alloys. As …

A uniform, compact, and well adherent conversion coating of magnesium hydroxide has
been formed on bioresorbable magnesium disks by means of a hydrothermal technique …
