Influence of Physical and Mechanical Parameters on Cavitation Erosion and Antifouling Behaviour of Multilayer Silica-Based Hybrid Sol–Gel Coatings on Aluminium Alloys

Sol–gel coatings can provide anti-fouling and erosion resistance while being safe to use in the marine environment. MAPTMS/ZPO multilayer coatings deposited on the AA2024-T3 aluminium surface using the dip-coating method at three different thicknesses (2, 4, and 6 µm) are investigated in this work....
