Replacing the chromate and phosphate conversion coatings (CCs) with nontoxic ones has
played a key role in CC research in recent years. Although considerable efforts have been …

It is highly vital in automotive body, high-speed rail overhead line parts, and water
distribution systems to use hot-dip galvanized steel (HDGS) coatings for efficiency and ease …

Organic anticorrosion coatings (OACs) are the most effective, economical, and
environmentally friendly protection strategy for metals. However, the traditional OACs …

The corrosion resistance of pure zinc coatings can be improved through the application of
