Abstract:The deposition of Ce-based conversion coatings onto 2024-T3 Al alloy sheet was studied using Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The Al sheet was pretreated with an alkaline clean followed by treatment in a Ce(IV) and H 2 SO 4 -based desmutter. The Ce(IV)-based conversion coating solution contained 0.1 M CeCl 3 ·7H 2 O and 3% H 2 O 2 and was acidified to pH 1.9 with HCl. Upon immersion, … Show more

“…Indeed, rare-earth salts were able to inhibit the corrosion of several systems such as Zn, galvanized steel, Mg, or Al alloys and successfully integrated into primers or conversion coatings. [56][57][58][61][62][63][64] However, the rareearth-based oxides could dissolve in an acidic environment and therefore making this rare-earth-based surface layer less stable or durable, compared to the Cr 2 O 3 layer form using hexavalent chromium. In addition, several studies performed on a coated Al alloy AA2024-T3 reported minor improvement in pitting potential and corrosion current, calling into question the efficacy of Cebased conversion coatings.…”
The ubiquitous use of chromium and its derivatives as corrosion preventative compounds accelerated rapidly after the second industrial revolution, with such compounds now integral to modern society. However, the detrimental impact of chromium compounds on the environment and human health has prompted the need to revisit the majority of current industrial corrosion protection measures. This review retraces the origins of chromium replacement motivations, introducing the various legislative actions aimed at diminishing the use of chromium compounds, and critically reviews alternative corrosion preventative technologies developed in the recent decades to now. The review, herein, is intended for a broad audience in order to provide a concise update to an increasingly timely issue.

“…The decrease in corrosion rate indicates the barrier properties of the cerium oxide/hydroxide films on the steel substrate in a corrosive environment. The deposition mechanism involves both the oxidation of iron and the reduction of H 2 O 2 in the reaction 40 43 reported that during the cerium conversion coatings process, the ceria particle size was increased with the immersion time. They suggested that the increase in the particle size was probably related to an increase in the pH near the surface because the rate of the hydrolysis of cerium ions is increased at a higher pH.…”
In this study, cerium-based conversion coating was deposited on steel X52 by dip immersion method. Cerium oxide/hydroxide is an environmentally friendly conversion coating. The effects of immersion times and immersion temperatures on corrosion properties of cerium conversion coating on steel X52 were studied. Its corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and surface techniques. The coated samples showed a significant decrease in corrosion rate and corrosion current decreased with increasing immersion time up to 60 s. In addition, electrochemical impedance data showed that in the presence of cerium oxide conversion coatings, the charge transfer resistance of aluminum increased. The experimental results indicated that the corrosion resistance decreased with increasing the operating temperature. Surface morphology and its chemical composition were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy.
“…The effect of this microstructural characteristic is an overestimation of the oxide thickness, which has been reported to be about 4 nm [7] and 7 nm.

This work is focused on a detailed analysis of passive layer formed on AA2024-T3 aluminum alloy, in unmodified and nitrogenimplanted conditions. This study is the first step in analyzing the possible beneficial effect of nitrogen implantation in the simultaneous improvement of the tribological properties and pitting resistance. The implanted surface has been characterized by XPS and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and SEM/EDX has been used for microstructural characterization. XPS depth profile of the implanted surface shows the formation of AlN through the implanted layer. AFM studies have confirmed the increase of the surface roughness of AA2024-T3 due to N + implantation. Another interesting result of the present work is the detection by EDX analysis, of implanted alloy of a specific concentration of the implanted nitrogen in Al-Cu-Fe-Mn-Si particles with regards to the other microstructural constituents.
