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 …

Abstract Current implementation of Industry 4.0, the fourth stage of industrialisation, implies
application of novel approaches for manufacturing oriented on strong personalisation and …

Current corrosion-resistant layered double hydroxide (LDH) coating on Mg alloy is usually in
situ grown in autoclave by hydrothermal methods under high temperature and high-pressure …

Background In-situ grown layered double hydroxide (LDH) conversion coatings could be
modified with corrosion inhibitors to improve corrosion resistance of the films. In this paper, a …

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) have emerged as an alternative to chromates for
corrosion protection by exploiting anion-exchange phenomena: the LDH releases corrosion …

In this study, ZnAl-layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH) was functionalized with 2-
phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid (PBSA) to prepare ZnAl-PBSA-LDH using a simple …

The corrosion behavior of 5A06 aluminum alloy in N 2 O 4 was investigated to explore the
influence of immersion time. The XPS results confirmed the existence of corrosion products …

In recent years, the imperative to adopt a sustainable approach to aluminum coating pre-
treatments due to environmental concerns has engaged researchers in corrosion studies …

This work reviews the characteristics of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) in the context of
protective thin films to enhance the corrosion resistance properties of aluminum alloys. A …

AA2024 aluminium alloy is widely used in the aerospace industry. However, it is known to
be highly susceptible to localised corrosion, which is related to its complex microstructure …
