Desenvolvimento de revestimentos híbridos siloxano-poli (metacrilato de metila) pelo processo sol gel dopados com molibdênio com aplicações anticorrosivas em liga de alumínio AA606T5

Abstract

The corrosion problems in metallic alloys are frequent and occur in various industrial activities since construction to the food industry. The metallic corrosion will may worsen if the alloy is without protection proper and exposed to environment containing chlorides and sulfates or high humidity, typical environments of coastal cities and industrial areas. In this work, siloxane-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) hybrid coatings were prepared by dip-coating on the aluminum alloy AA6063T5. The hybrid sols were prepared from copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) followed by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis/polycondensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and adition of molybdenum (VI) ions in amounts different. The research investigated the influence of different synthesis systems and the addition of molybdenum in the hybrid structure and efficiency of protection of the coated alloy. The structure of the hybrids were studied by 13C and 29Si Nuclear Magnetic Resonance , Small Angle X-Ray Scattering , X-ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis . The surface morphology of doped and undoped were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and X ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. Testing of corrosion in chloride environments electrochemical measurements were performed using the open circuit potential and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. The results showed different mechanisms of hydrolysis and condensation in accordance with the salt concentration in the medium. Increasing the salt concentration increased the polycondensation of the siloxane groups and improvement in the corrosion resistance of the hybrid coatings on the aluminum alloy, mainly when doped.
