The search for new alternatives to replace chromate-based coatings is a matter of great
importance. Since their official ban due to the raised concerns of hexavalent chromium to the …

Increasing demands for environmental accountability and energy efficiency in industrial
practice necessitates significant modification (s) of existing technologies and development of …

Aluminium is a strongly electro-negative metal and possesses a strong affinity for oxygen;
this is apparent fi· om the high heat of formation of its oxide. For this reason, although it is …

The corrosion susceptibility of Ti, Ti–6Al–4V and Ti–45Ni was studied in a buffered saline
solution using anodic polarisation and electrochemical impedance measurements. Pitting …

The development of active corrosion protection systems for metallic substrates is an issue of
prime importance for many industrial applications. The present work shows a new …

Ultra-small angle X-ray scattering (USAXS), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), X-ray
reflectometry (XRR) and neutron reflectometry (NR) were used to probe structure evolution …

Nanocontainers with a shell possessing controlled release properties can be used to
fabricate a new family of active coatings that can respond quickly to changes in the coating …

A novel borate/boric/sulphuric acid anodising process is studied. The results show that the
physical structure of the films is influenced not only by the bath used, but also and mainly by …

In this work, the effect of the corrosion testing methodology on the degradation of anodized
and post-treated AA-2024T3 specimens is considered. Two post-treatments are selected for …
