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 …

Exposure of Al–Cu–Mg alloys to an elastic loading, either for “creep age forming” or other
manufacturing processes at relatively high temperature, will lead to microstructural changes …

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

Chromic acid anodizing has been used for almost a century to enhance corrosion protection
of aerospace alloys. For some applications, hydrothermal sealing in hexavalent chromium …

Environmental friendly cerium conversion coating (CeCC) as an alternate to hexavalent
chromium (Cr (VI)) coating was prepared on to AZ31 magnesium alloy with varying Gelatin …

In this work, porous anodic oxides were produced by traditional and modified tartaric sulfuric
anodizing (TSA) processes and sealed in hot water, chromate and cerium based solutions …

Chrome-based anodization and sealing combined is a cost-effective solution for developing
good corrosion protective coatings on aluminum (Al) and its alloys. The toxicity of hexavalent …

Biomaterial polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel was first studied for self-healing coatings of Mg
alloys. In this work, a PAM gel with Ce 4+ inhibitor was in-situ composited on the surface of …

Microcapsules with self-healing coatings for corrosion protection of magnesium substrates
have attracted tremendous interest due to their capability of preventing the propagation of …
