The present disclosure provides methods for forming sol-gels, sol-gel films and substrates, such as vehicle components, having a sol-gel film disposed thereon. At least one method of forming a sol-gel includes mixing a metal alkoxide, an acid stabilizer, and an organic solvent to form a first mixture having about 10 wt % or less water content based on the total weight of the first mixture. The method includes mixing an organosilane with the first mixture to form a second mixture having about 10 wt % or less water content based on the total weight of the second mixture.

A coating composition and a method of making a coating composition is provided. The coating composition includes: a) a binder system comprising a mixture of a caramelized carbohydrate component, an inorganic colloidal binder, and an adjuvant; and b) a protective agent. The coating composition is useful for protecting articles from corrosion and/or erosion caused by contact with molten metal.
