Abstract

This paper presents the results of an evaluation of corrosion properties of PEO pretreated AlMg3 aluminum alloy samples with polymer coatings obtained by dip-coating in a suspension of superdispersed polytetrafluoroethylene (SPTFE) in a solution of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at different PVDF:SPTFE ratios (1:1, 1:3, 1:5, and 1:10). The electrochemical tests showed that samples with a coating formed at a ratio of PVDF to SPTFE of 1:5 possessed the best corrosion properties. The corrosion current density of these samples was more than five orders of magnitude lower than this parameter for bare aluminum alloy. During the 40-day salt spray test (SST) for samples prepared in a suspension at a PVDF:SPTFE ratio of 1:1–1:5, the formation of any pittings or defects was not detected. The PVDF:SPTFE 1:5 sample demonstrated, as a result of the 40-day SST, an increase in corrosion current density of less than an order of magnitude. The evolution of the protective properties of the studied samples was assessed by a two-year field atmospheric corrosion test on the coast of the Sea of Japan. It was revealed that the samples with the PVDF:SPTFE 1:5 coating had electrochemical parameters that remained consistently high throughout the one year of exposure. After this period, the polymer layer was destroyed, which led to a deterioration in the protective characteristics of the coatings.
