Corrosion Protection of Materials by Applying Nanotechnology Associated Studies

摘要

Corrosion usually takes place and degrades material surfaces based on environmental chemistry. There are several popular ways of decreasing corrosion rates to improve the lifetime of materials and devices. As recently determined, some methods may incorporate nanostructured materials processing approaches. These include surface treatment methods, nanocomposite thin film coatings, top layer coatings and thermal barrier coatings. Test results show that the corrosion performance of materials is significantly improved as compared to materials processed using conventional methods. In the present paper, some of these studies will be analyzed, and the obtained corrosion results will be evaluated in detail for the future of corrosion processes.
