The Effect of Pore Sealing in a Multilayer Si–O–Zr/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Coating Designed to Protect Aluminium from Corrosion

This study deals with the combination of two corrosion protection strategies for aluminium: barrier protection (provided by a 3.8 μm thick hybrid sol–gel coating) and aluminium pore sealing via the use of a 100 nm thick layer of aluminium oxide. A Si–O–Zr hybrid sol–gel coating (TMZ) was synthesised...
