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 …

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 …

Hybrid organic–inorganic sol–gel-matrices, with up to 20wt.% incorporated ceria
nanoparticles, have been employed as coatings for an AA2024-T3 aluminium alloy. The …

In the present investigation, a zirconium–cerium conversion coating (ZrCeCC) was
developed on aerospace aluminum alloy (AA2024) by simple immersion technique …

Corrosion performance, morphology, and electrochemical characteristics of cerium-based
conversion coatings on Al 2024-T3 were examined as a function of phosphate post …

The effects of mechanical and chemical pre-treatments of AA7075-T6 and AA2024-T3
aluminium alloys were studied in terms of changes of morphology, composition and …

The effects of cold spray coating and substrate surface preparation on crack initiation under
cyclic loading have been studied on Al2024 alloy specimens. Commercially pure (CP) …

In this paper we have studied the effect of addition of amino silane and sulfur silane by 2
wt% into a reference coating solution by using two basic silane coupling agents methyl-tri …

The effect of alkaline cleaning and activation on the composition and thickness of the oxide
layer on aluminum alloy 7075-T6 was studied. E–pH diagrams were developed to predict …

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