Corrosion Protection Performance of YSZ Coating on AA7075 Aluminum Alloy Prepared by Aerosol Deposition

Abstract

Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coating was deposited on AA7075 aluminum alloy by aerosol deposition (AD) at room temperature, and its electrochemical corrosion properties were investigated in 0.5 M H2SO4, 3.5 wt% NaCl, and 0.1 M KOH solutions. A crack-free, dense, and ∼5 μm thick YSZ coating on Al alloy was successfully obtained by AD method. The YSZ coating was polycrystalline and composed of ∼10 nm nanocrystallites. Potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests indicated that the corrosion behavior in each solution was different, but the corrosion protection of the AA7075 Al alloy was significantly improved by the AD YSZ coating in all three solutions.

Catalytic Solvent Regeneration for Energy-Efficient CO2 Capture

“…Liang et al and Gao et al reported a similar mechanism for ZrO 2 metal oxide in basic solutions. Based on reactions –, the zirconate ions (HZrO 3 – ) that form under the alkaline conditions can act as a catalyst in the amine solution and facilitate proton transfer from MEAH + to MEACOO – . , Note that the OH – ion of ZrO 2 catalyst can partially react with the absorbed CO 2 and form HCO 3 – …”

Tuning the Microstructure and Thickness of Ceramic Layers with Advanced Coating Technologies Using Zirconia as an Example

“…Crack‐free, dense YSZ coatings with thicknesses between 4 and 5 μm and more than 100 μm were successfully deposited by AD. They offer corrosion protection on aluminum [ 263 ] and magnesium alloys [ 264 ] to improve the surface hardness of stainless steel [ 265 ] or as electrolytes in NO x sensors. [ 266 ] In contrast to alternative porous, screen‐printed electrolytes, lower noise, and higher sensitivities toward NO, as well as NO 2 , were observed for the dense coatings obtained by AD.…”

First of Their Kind: Solar Cells with a Dry‐Processed Perovskite Absorber Layer via Powder Aerosol Deposition and Hot‐Pressing

“…[17][18][19] Here, an aerosol is generated from powder and accelerated onto a substrate, where the powder particles break up and form a dense film. PAD is well established for a variety of different ceramic materials, like technical ceramics, [20][21][22][23] and ceramics for sensing and energy applications. [24] First commercial applications of PAD are already tested.…”
