Research abstract
The sol-gel process has been found to be good surface pretreatment of aluminum alloys. The sol-gel derived coatings with the necessary thickness, strength, adhesion and morphology can function as adhesive bonding on corrosion protection layers. Active, inorganic anhydrous coating is deposited on aircraft grade structure aluminum alloys by two sol-gel approaches. The coatings will be characterized with regards to chemical composition, morphology, thermodynamic stability, hydrolytic, corrosion resistance and bondability. Coating influence on metallic alloy properties such as fatique effects will be evaluated, and the effect of the sol-gel process on the environment will be determined.
