Researchers at the University of Missouri-Rolla are helping to develop a two-layer, chromate-free coating system to protect military equipment, especially aircraft, from corrosion. The two layers ...

A research team at the University of Nevada, Reno has developed a new environmentally-friendly coating for aluminum to replace the carcinogenic chromate coatings used in aerospace applications. The ...

Triggered or on-demand release is desired as a result of exposure to a corrosive species or after corrosion initiates. ‘Turning off’ inhibitor release is also desired once it is no longer needed.

A materials engineering research team at the University of Nevada, Reno has developed an environmentally friendly, self-healing coating for the aluminum used in defense and aerospace applications. The ...

Corrosion and rust preventive coatings cover the surface of a part and protect the underlying surface from rusting, oxidation, tarnishing, or other types of corrosion. The coating acts as a protective ...

Fastener coatings or finishes improve appearance, increase corrosion resistance, and provide lubricity. Electrodeposited coatings: Zinc, cadmium, tin, nickel, and chromium coatings are most common for ...
