Rapid early formation and crystal refinement of chemical conversion hopeite coatings induced by substrate sandblasting

Abstract

Hopeite coatings have attracted more attention recently, because of their corrosion resistance and functional properties. In this research, the influence of sandblasting on the microstructure, phase and electrochemical behavior of hopeite coatings are discussed. It is shown that both coatings formed on sandblasted (SB) and non-sandblasted (NSB) substrates are composed of hopeite and minor phosphophyllite. Sandblasting treatment significantly decreases the crystal size and increases the coating mass within a PCC period of 30 min. The electrochemical analysis reveals that the sandblasting treatment of the substrate can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the samples in 0.9 wt% sodium chloride solution. An adhesive test indicated that the PCC coating was strongly attached on the substrate.
