There is a high probability that aluminum substrate when used in contact with these acids form complexes that are found to be toxic. Pigment-based systems have been used to control the dissolution of aluminum under these conditions, but pigments cannot be added to food that humans or animals consume. Therefore, there is a need for long-lasting protective coatings on aluminum that will not degrade in contact with acidic food products. In this work, a combination of metal pre-treatment, followed by deposition of thin layer of a metal-gluconate (Zn2+ and Ca2+) based coating on aluminum alloy AA2024, and subsequent heat treatment in the range of 50° to 120°C was found to offer significant corrosion protection in high concentrations of NaCl solution, gluconic acid, solution and in combinations of both. Gluconic acid being strongest of all the three other acids is considered as a representative of those. The influence of the surface pre-treatment and coatings on the corrosion protection and adhesion to aluminum alloy were examined using accelerated corrosion tests. The morphology of the coatings was observed using scanning electron microscopy / EDX and optical microscopy. The chemical structure and composition of the coating solution complex was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS). Results revealed that gluconate successfully absorbs calcium acetate and forms a one molecular state solution that provides a strong, compact and adherent film on aluminum. However, despite providing a strong, compact and adherent film on Al, the gluconate and zinc acetate forms two-phase solution that given a non-homogeneous coating with defects and unidentified phases. 2017 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1509983584874447 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1509983584874447 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
