Shielding of metals from the corrosion induced by water and humidity by using scratch resistant and hydrophobic silica coatings

Abstract The objective of the present paper is to demonstrate the effect of sol-gel derived scratch resistant coatings on different metal surfaces for anticorrosive applications. However, practical applications are limited by problems intrinsic to sol-gel processing or specific of coating/metal systems. Coatings aimed to improve oxidation and wet corrosion resistance have been studied the most. The results published in the literature show that sol-gel coatings may offer good protection against oxidation. More difficult is to achieve a protection against wet corrosion. An important aspect of the application of the sol-gel method for coating metallic objects is also the deposition technique.
