Resumen:
In this research work, a preliminary potentiodynamic polarization performance testing was carried out on a new environmentally friendly proposed composite coating. The proposed composite coating was developed by: (a) hot sulfuric anodizing to produce an Al2O3 conversion film followed by an (b) organic electrodeposited chitosan-sodium alginate blended film. Posteriorly, the conversion and organic films were microstructurally characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Finally, the polarization resistance technique was used to measure the corrosion resistance of the uncoated and coated AA6063 alloy in a simulated marine environment and the polarization tests were compared to samples immersed during 30 days in same electrolyte solution. The obtained inhibition corrosion efficiency of the proposed coating system was measured comparing the Rp of the uncoated alloy to the coated samples, showing an efficiency about 99% for a 3% NaCl electrolyte for some of the samples. Therefore, the experimental results obtained during this research demonstrates the feasibility of using the developed anticorrosive composite coating to protect aluminum alloys against chloride corrosive ions species and to further continue with the corresponding research. © 2020 The Author(s).
