CORROSION What the corrosion is? Corrosion is a gradual spontaneous process as a result of a chemical reaction with the environment that damages the original metal, typically iron. + O2 / + H2O Spontaneous !! Non spontaneous !! Entropy: Order Disorder
Corrosion Process: description 1 Anodic reaction: Fe Fe2+ + 2 e- Cathodic reaction: O2 + 2 H2O + 4 e- 4 OH- 2 e- 3 O2 Fe2+ H2O Fe(OH)2 4 delamination 5 blistering OH- Protective coating OH- OH- e- e- Fe e- Metallic substrate (Fe)
Corrosion Process: reactions • Redoxreaction: • Anodic reaction (oxidation): Fe Fe2+ + 2 e- • Cathodic reaction (reduction): O2 + 2 H2O + 4 e- 4 OH- • Globally: • 2 Fe + O2 + 2 H2O + 4 e- 2 Fe2+ + 4 OH- + 4 e- • Formation of rust: • Fe2+ + 2 OH- Fe(OH)2 • 4 Fe(OH)2 + O2 4 FeOOH+ 2 H2O • 2 FeOOH Fe2O3+ H2O
Corrosion Process • Other compounds can accelerate the reaction: • H3O+ (or changes in the pH) • SO2 (industrial environment) • NaCl (marine environment) • Other contaminants: NH4+, SO42-, Mg2+, COO-, etc • Also: temperature
How to Slow the Corrosion Process 1 e-flowing O2 Fe2+ H2O delamination blistering OH- Protective coating OH- OH- e- e- Fe e- Metallic substrate (Fe) It is impossible to interrupt the electron flowing (metal)
How to Slow the Corrosion Process H2O / O2 in the interface 2 O2 Fe2+ H2O delamination blistering OH- Protective coating OH- OH- e- e- Fe e- Metallic substrate (Fe) It is possible to reduce water and oxygen flow through barrier effect
How to Slow the Corrosion Process Cathodic reaction: O2 + 2 H2O + 4 e- 4 OH- High pH (OH-) displaces the reaction to the left and helps hydroxides precipitation Cathodic inhibition by metallic hydroxides and oxides precipitation OH- generation in the cathode 3 O2 Fe2+ H2O delamination blistering OH- Protective coating OH- OH- e- e- Fe e- Metallic substrate (Fe)
How to Slow the Corrosion Process Anodic reaction: Fe Fe2+ + 2 e- Anodic passivation by metal and iron complexes (phosphates, silicates, …) precipitation O2 Fe2+ H2O Fe2+ generation in the anode 4 delamination blistering OH- Protective coating OH- OH- e- e- Fe e- Metallic substrate (Fe)
How to Slow the Corrosion Process Anodic reaction: Fe Fe2+ + 2 e- Cathodic reaction: O2 + 2 H2O + 4 e- 4 OH- Compounds precipitated in the cathode and the anode also avoid the ionic mobility O2 Fe2+ H2O Fe(OH)2 Ionic mobility delamination 5 blistering OH- Protective coating OH- OH- e- e- Fe e- Metallic substrate (Fe)
Zn free pigments Calcium Strontium Phosphosilicates: aM*. bP2O5 . cSiO2 . xH2O, for M = Ca, Sr • Lowparticlesize • Specialparticleshapecombination(acicular + spherical) • Elemental particles <1µ forming aggregates and agglomerates up to <10µ D(v,0.5)=1.15µ
Zn free pigments • Higherspecificsurfacearea • 21 m2/g vs1 m2/g(std zinc phosphate) • Minimizes moisture, oxygen and ionic species diffusion. • Microscopical reinforcing action • Better adhesion to the metal surface • Better dispersion capability • More active surface (allows lower pigment dosage) • Better performance in thin film systems • Low effect on gloss
