Aluminum alloys are widely sought for different applications due to their high strength-to-
weight ratio. Most often this increased strength of the alloy is achieved by specific alloying …

Chemical conversion coatings are widely used as a surface treatment for aluminum alloys to
improve the adhesion of organic coatings and corrosion resistance. Because hexavalent …

Zirconium oxide-based conversion coatings (CCs) were prepared from hexafluorozirconic
acid, H 2 ZrF 6, with and without Cu II as an additive. The CCs were prepared on primary …

This paper aimed to develop synchronous chemical conversion coating on multi-metal
substrates with good corrosion resistance to meet the primer process of new energy light …

In this work, the use of ZrO2 nanocoating in aluminum substrates, generated by controlled
electrochemical chronoamperometry in hexafluorozirconic acid solutions (H2ZrF6· 5H2O) …

Ti-/Zr-based conversion coatings are environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional
chromate conversion coatings. A prerequisite for their widespread use on aluminum alloys is …

The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to explore the experimental space,
characterise the influence of deposition and drying conditions on corrosion resistance, and …

In this work, the corrosion mechanism of AA2024-T3 covered by a lithium-based conversion
layer is studied with high spatial and temporal resolution. Although the aluminium alloy …

This study validates the proposed polymerised structure, including tetrameric polynuclear
species, of solid amorphous oxyhydroxide zirconium conversion coatings on cold-rolled …

We examined tegumental development of the diplostomulum of Ornithodiplostomum
ptychocheilus, with respect to structural transformations that have functional relevance to the …
