In the paper we presented the development of Al-W-based coatings for protection of aluminium alloys against corrosion. The highlight of the work is in electrochemical measurements which were used to prove that the Al-W coatings assure two to three orders of magnitude better corrostion protection against bare material (aluminium alloy 2024).
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 22078503We developed a coating which can be deposited on aluminium alloys by sputtering. This may be a tool, machine part or construction element. The procedure contains preparation of the suitable target, cleaning the substrate in alkaline media and ethanol, ion etching of the surface and deposition of the Al-W coating. The development is at the level of pilot deposition for first tests in real industrial production.
