Abstract

An aqueous hybrid inorganic/organic sol-gel solution composed of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) was applied on ZnFe (14 wt.% Fe) electrodeposited on steel as a sacrificial layer. Two precursor contents were studied: 10 (SG10) and 30 % (SG30). First, the morphology and thickness of the films were assessed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observations. They revealed the presence of micro-cracks in the films without alkaline surface preparation due to the pyramidal shape of the ZnFe deposit. Then, the corrosion resistance of the systems was determined by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) test. All results indicated an improvement in the corrosion resistance thanks to the presence of the SG films. However, the protection provided by the SG10 film did not permit to durably protect the ZnFe deposit. The combination of surface preparation and a SG30 film provided promising protection to the ZnFe deposit with an increase of the low-frequency modulus and a delay in corrosion product appearance during the NSS test.
