the influence of increasing the sio2/k2o molar ratio on the electrochemical action of a waterbornepotassium silicate zinc-rich coating was investigated by means of electrochemical impedancespectroscopy (eis) and corrosion potential (ecorr) measurements. the eis results showed thatincreasing the sio2/k2o molar ratio in the range of 3.135 to 5 by the addition of nano-sio2 to theresins improved th...

The effect of Mg addition on the microstructure and sacrificial anode protection performance a hot-dip Al-5Zn-4Si-xMg coating was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS), an X-ray diffractometer, electrochemical workstation. results showed that Al-Zn-Si alloy composed Al-rich phase Zn-rich phase. MgZn2 appears after addition. When increased to 0.15 wt.%, Mg2Si began appear in alloy. c...

zn-co electrodeposits have attracted interest because of their significantly higher corrosion resistance in comparison with pure zinc. in this research the influence of bath temperature and electrolyte’s co 2+ concentration on the morphology and composition of the zn-co coatings, electrodeposited on an aisi1018 steel substrate from a weakly alkaline glycine solutions, has been studied. sem and ...

The zincZeolite Socony Mobil-Five nano-particles (Zn-ZSM-5 NPs) composite was prepared and applied successfully as a new coating material to improve the corrosion resistance of steel. The corrosion type and quality of both pure zinc and our new coating material, Zn-ZSM-5 NPs, were studied using mass loss, impedance and electro-chemical polarization techniques in a sodium chloride solution. Obta...

Consumption of acidic foods and drinks and other factors that cause enamel wear are responsible for the daily enamel loss and degradation. Use of some toothpastes that have been showed to possess different properties of remineralisation and/or repair of the enamel surface may help to protect tooth enamel. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the use of toothpaste containing Zn-carbonat...

The microstructure of continuously hot-dip galvanizing Zn-Mg coating was investigated in order to obtain the mechanism of the effects of Mg on the corrosion resistance. In this paper, the vertical section of the Zn-0.20 wt % Al-Mg ternary phase diagram near the Al-low corner was calculated. The results indicates that the phase composition of the Zn-0.20 wt % Al-Mg ternary phase diagram near the...

Abstract In this paper, the failure mechanism of Zn-rich epoxy coating under AC interference in alkaline environment was revealed based on EIS tests. Using X80 steel as matrix, coated sample formed by hand-brushing with thickness 25 ± 5 μ m determined five-point test. The curves 3 wt% NaOH solution immersion time studied (no) interference, and evolution established through fitting parameters. r...

Nanocrystalline Zn-substituted hydroxyapatite coatings were deposited by radiofrequency magnetron sputtering on the surface of ultrafine-grained titanium substrates. Cross-section transmission electron microscopy provided information about the morphology and texture of the thin film while in-column energy dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed the presence of Zn in the coating. The Zn-substituted ...

Organic coatings act as a barrier to a corrosive solution and check the transfer of electrical charge from the corrosive solution. High performance organic paint systems were applied on plain carbon steel substrate with two different primers viz., epoxy Zn phosphate and epoxy Zn rich. Identical intermediate and top coats were applied on them having equal dry film thickness. Both uncontrolled lo...
