The invention comprises synergistic compositions of at least two metal carboxylates as corrosion inhibitors based on polycarboxylate anions and a variety of different cations. The inhibitors are designed to be added to film forming or other compositions to reduce the corrosion of the metal substrate on which the synergistic compositions are applied.

A ZnAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) composition is added to a solution including a corrosion inhibitor and stirred, and a precipitate of the solution is collected, washed, and dried to form a corrosion inhibiting material (CIM), in which the LDH composition is intercalated with the corrosion inhibitor. An inorganic CIM and/or an organic CIM may be formed. The organic CIM may be added to a sol-gel composition to form an organic CIM-containing sol-gel composition, and the inorganic CIM may be added to a sol-gel composition to form an inorganic CIM-containing sol-gel composition. Further, the organic CIM-containing sol-gel composition may be applied on a substrate (e.g., an aluminum alloy substrate) to form an organic CIM-containing sol-gel layer and cured by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the inorganic CIM-containing sol-gel composition may be applied on the substrate to form an inorganic CIM-containing sol-gel layer and cured by UV radiation, and the sol-gel layers may be thermally cured.

The present invention provides corrosion inhibiting compositions that incorporate at least one bis-imidazoline compound. In the practice of the present invention, a tetramine admixture enriched with respect to linear tetramine is used to prepare the bis-imidazoline compound. Enriched means at least 70 weight percent and up to 100% of the tetramine species included in the admixture includes a linear tetramine such as L-TETA.

Aspects described herein generally relate to a method of coating a metallic surface. The method includes forming a solution including a corrosion inhibitor having one or more thiol moieties and a hydroxide. The metallic surface is coated with the solution to form a treated metallic surface. The treated metallic surface is further coated with an organosilane, an acid, and a metal alkoxide to form a coating system.

A coating-forming composition for an electrical steel sheet that maintains excellent insulating properties, corrosion resistance, adhesion, and the like required in a coating for an electrical steel sheet, and exhibits excellent viscosity stability, with an increase in viscosity over time being kept gradual. A coating-forming composition for an electrical steel sheet comprises colloidal silica, a phosphate, phenylphosphonic acid or a salt thereof, and an aqueous medium.

An inside surface of a hose for use with liquid-cooled cooling plate assemblies and other applications that contain copper (Cu) components is pre-treated with a hydrophobic coating to reduce depletion of a copper corrosion inhibitor (e.g., benzotriazole (BTA)) dissolved in a liquid coolant (e.g., deionized water) that flows through the hose. Exemplary hydrophobic coatings include, but are not limited to, polydialkylsiloxanes such as polydimethylsiloxanes. In one embodiment, a multilayer hose is immersed in a solution containing hydrophobizing siloxane monomers dissolved in a solvent. The coated multilayer hose is then dried to evaporate the solvent. As the solvent evaporates, the siloxane monomers bind together to form the hydrophobic coating. In some embodiments, one or more hoses each provided with a hydrophobic coating interconnect liquid-coolant cooling system components (e.g., cold plates, headers, manifolds, pumps, reservoirs, and heat exchangers) of a cooling apparatus that removes heat from one or more electronic components.

An electrically conductive composite coating comprises a layer of an electrically conductive coating material (101) comprising a carbon-based material and an azole corrosion inhibitor; and a layer of tin or a tin alloy (102), such as tin-antimony (Sn-6 wt % Sb) alloy. The coating material may include an organic binder. The coating may be used to protect a component (100) in an electrochemical device such as a fuel cell assembly, a battery, a redox flow battery, an electrolyser or a supercapacitor. The coating shows no significant sign of corrosion after 9 days in accelerated long term corrosion tests in an aggressive environment.

A method of forming a passivated pigment slurry includes combining a resin and a pigment to form a pigment-resin slurry, wherein the pigment includes a plurality of flakes each having a surface. After combining, the method includes firstly reacting an orthosilicate and the pigment in the presence of the resin to form a coated pigment-resin slurry. The coated pigment-resin slurry includes the resin and a coated pigment including the plurality of flakes each encapsulated by a first layer formed from the orthosilicate on the surface. The method further includes, concurrent to or after firstly reacting, secondly reacting the coated pigment-resin slurry and an organosilane compound having a hydrolysable group and an organic group to coat the first layer and form the passivated pigment slurry. The passivated pigment slurry includes the resin and a passivated pigment including the plurality of flakes each coated with a second layer disposed on the first.
