The latest advances in technology and materials science have catalyzed a transformative shift towards the adoption of environmentally conscious and lightweight materials across key sectors such as aeronautics, biomedical, and automotive industries. Noteworthy among these innovations are the magnesium-aluminum (Mg-Al) alloys employed in aeronautical applications, contributing to the overall reduction in aircraft weight and subsequently diminishing fuel consumption and mitigating atmospheric emissions. The present work delves into a study of the anti-corrosive properties inherent in various sol-gel coatings, leveraging a range of environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors, specifically tailored for samples of the AZ61 alloy. Methodologically, the work involves the synthesis and application of sol-gel coatings on AZ61 alloy containing eco-friendly inhibitors: L-cysteine, N-acetyl-cysteine, curcumin and methylene blue. Subsequently, an accelerated corrosion test in a simulated saline environment is performed. Through microstructural and compositional analyses, the best inhibitors responses are achieved with inhibitors containing S, N heteroatoms and conjugated double bonds in their structure, probably due to the creation of a continuous MgCl layer. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on protective eco-coatings, aligning with the broader paradigm shift towards sustainable and lightweight materials in key industries.
技术和材料科学的最新进展推动了一场变革性转变,促使航空、生物医学和汽车等关键行业采用环保且轻质的材料。这些创新中值得注意的是用于航空应用的镁铝合金,有助于减轻飞机整体重量,进而降低燃油消耗并减少大气排放。本研究深入探讨了各种溶胶 - 凝胶涂层所固有的防腐性能,利用一系列专门为AZ61合金样品量身定制的环保型缓蚀剂。从方法上讲,这项工作涉及在含生态友好型缓蚀剂(L - 半胱氨酸、N - 乙酰 - 半胱氨酸、姜黄素和亚甲蓝)的AZ61合金上合成并应用溶胶 - 凝胶涂层。随后,在模拟盐环境中进行加速腐蚀试验。通过微观结构和成分分析,发现结构中含有S、N杂原子和共轭双键的缓蚀剂能产生最佳的缓蚀效果,这可能是由于形成了连续的MgCl层。这项研究为正在进行的关于环保防护涂层的讨论做出了贡献,与关键行业向可持续和轻质材料的更广泛范式转变相一致。
