Abstract
The protection of pretreated aluminium against environmental corrosion has been accomplished in varying degrees by incorporating selected organophosphonates and organosilanes on the metal surface. lonizable phosphonates, such as nitrilo-tris methylene phosphonic acid (NTMP), adsorbed at monolayer concentrations, are effective inhibitors against hydration and are compatible with a nitrile-modified epoxy adhesive material. Aqueous 0.1 vol% solutions of selected organosilane compounds containing reactive side chains (e.g. epoxy, mercapto) exhibit protection against both hydration corrosion and the action of an aggressive species (Cl−) and provide good adhesive bond durability with both nitrile-modified and polyamide (primer) epoxy resin systems. Wedge test results suggest that the curing process (e.g. the percentage crosslinking) of the epoxy-polyamide primer system is not affected by the addition of organosilanes, but may be affected by NTMP. The results of substrate surface characterization, adsorption behaviour of applied films, and evaluation of candidate inhibitors by chemical, mechanical, and electrochemical test methods are presented. Mechanisms to explain the observed behaviour of the phosphonate and silane systems are discussed.
