Deposition and protection mechanisms of zirconium conversion coatings on aluminium alloy, steel and zinc substrates
This thesis focuses on the development and optimisation of zirconium conversion coatings (ZrCCs) on cold-rolled steel (CRS), zinc (Zn), and aluminium alloy AA5754 substrates through a multidimensional approach. The utilization of statistical tools, specifically response surface methodology (RSM), enabled the assessment of the individual and mutual effects of various parameters …
Interactions of azole molecules with copper ions and copper surfaces covered with chemisorbed H, O, Oh or Cl
In real environments, copper and other metal surfaces are never clean. Even during active dissolution in corrosion, they are likely to be covered with adsorbed corrosion-relevant species such as O, OH, H, and Cl. To explore the impact of such species on the bonding of imidazole, used herein as an …
