Application of CeH–V/ sol–gel composite coating for corrosion protection of AM60B magnesium alloy

Application of a composite coating on AM60B magnesium alloy consisting of cerium–vanadium conversion coating and a hybrid sol–gel layer was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses revealed a cracked nodular structure for the cerium–vanadium conversion coating which was mainly composed of O, Ce, V, and Mg atoms. All the cracks in the conversion coating were completely sealed by a thin, compact and defect-free hybrid sol–gel film. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments in Harrison's solution showed that the cerium–vanadium conversion coating provides minimal protection against corrosion while the composite coating significantly increases the corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy. Sol–gel film provides protection against corrosion by sealing cracks in the cerium–vanadium conversion coating and acting as a barrier. Scanning electron microscopy analyses after polarization tests confirmed the results obtained by the electrochemical tests.     

Effect of surface treatments based on self‐assembling molecules and cerium coatings on the AA3003 alloy corrosion resistance

This work presents the effects of a cerium conversion coating, self‐assembling molecules (SAM) treatment, and a combination of these two treatments on the corrosion resistance of the AA3003 alloy. The results were compared to that of a conversion coating treatment with hexavalent chromium (Cr VI). The corrosion resistance of the surface‐treated AA3003 alloy samples was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and anodic polarization curves in 0.5 mol/L sodium sulfate solution with pH adjusted to 4.0. The results showed that the SAM treatment offered better corrosion protection for the AA3003 alloy than that provided by cerium conversion coating. The combination of cerium conversion and SAM treatments improved the corrosion resistance of the AA3003 alloy due to SAM adsorption on the alloy substrate exposed at the defects in the cerium conversion layer.

Preparation and corrosion resistance of titanium–zirconium–cerium based conversion coating on 6061 aluminum alloy

This paper aims to develop a chromium-free chemical conversion coating with good corrosion resistance. A novel chemical conversion coating was prepared on 6061 aluminum alloy by dipping in the treatment solution containing titanium/zirconium based-ions and sodium metaphosphate and cerium nitrate hexahydrate as additives. The morphology and composition of the conversion coatings were observed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The microarea structure of conversion coatings at different formation stages was analyzed by electron probe microanalyzer. The electrochemical polarization curve revealed that the corrosion potential of the conversion coating was −0.577 V and the corrosion current density was 0.1148 μA/cm². The equivalent circuit fitted by AC impedance showed that the film resistance reaches 68,140 Ω. The formation of coating preferentially grows on the Al (Fe) Si intermetallic to form oxides of Ti and Zr; then TiO₂ formed by a higher concentration of Ti⁴⁺ gradually covered ZrO₂. Ce³⁺ could adsorb on the intermetallic compound, the hydrolysis of which causes the local pH of the solution to decrease and promotes the aluminum alloy dissolved.

The Ce2SO4/H2O2 containing solution is used to prepare a chrome-free cerium oxide based chemical conversion coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy at room temperature,and an orthogonal experiment was carried out to optimize the treating process.The effect of preparing parameters on the coating growth and the corrosion resistance were studied.It was found that H2O2 is the dominant influence factor on the coating weight gain in the orthogonal experiment,with Ce(SO4)2 coming next and immersion time having the least impact,while the most dominant influence factor on the corrosion resistance is Ce(SO4)2,with H2O2 coming next and immersion time having the least impact.The coating has the best corrosion resistance,treated in the solution of 10 g/l Ce(SO4)2 and 12 ml/l H2O2 for 4 min.SEM was adopted to study the micro-morphology of the conversion coating on magnesium alloy surface The prolonged immersion time duration or the increased concentration of Ce(SO4)2 and H2O2 will increase the coating thickness,but tiny cracks appears resulted from the fast coating deposition.     

Corrosion electrochemical behaviors of silane coating coated magnesium alloy in NaCl solution containing cerium nitrate

Sol–gel coatings cannot provide adequate corrosion protection for metal/alloys in the corrosive environments due to their high crack‐forming potential. This paper demonstrates the possibility to employ cerium nitrate as inhibitor to decrease the corrosion development of sol–gel‐based silane coating on the magnesium alloy in NaCl solution. Cerium nitrate was added into the NaCl solution where the silane coating coated magnesium alloy was immersed. Scanning electron microcopy (SEM) was used to examine surface morphology of the silane coating coated magnesium alloy immersed in NaCl solutions doped and undoped with cerium nitrate. The corrosion electrochemical behaviors were investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests. The results showed that the introduction of cerium nitrate into NaCl solution could effectively inhibit the corrosion of the silane coating coated magnesium alloy. Moreover, the influence of concentration of cerium nitrate on the corrosion inhibition and the possible inhibiting mechanism were also discussed in detail.

Effect of HCl pre-treatment on corrosion resistance of cerium-based conversion coatings on magnesium and magnesium alloys

The corrosion protection afforded by a cerium conversion coating, formed by immersion in a solution containing rare earth salt and hydrogen peroxide, on pure magnesium and two magnesium alloys, AZ91 and AM50, has been studied. The effect of HCl pre-treatments on the morphology and on the corrosion resistance of the cerium conversion layer was investigated. A thicker and more homogeneous distribution of the conversion coating was obtained when the sample surface was pre-treated with acid. Higher amounts of cerium on the surface of the pre-treated samples were detected. The cerium conversion coating increased the corrosion resistance of the alloys because it ennobled the corrosion potential and decreased both the anodic and cathodic current. The acid pre-treatment further increased the corrosion resistance of the coated alloys. After five days of immersion in chloride environment the untreated samples showed localized corrosion while the chemical conversion coated samples appeared unaffected.
