Corrosion And Fatigue: New Ways Of Warding Off Old Enemies - 0 views
-
A number of field tests have been conducted to evaluate the properties and performance of hybrid sol-gel coatings - the most notable of which so far has been at the Thames Barrier in London. Above, the three plates shown were submerged for six months at the Thames Barrier. The results show clearly corrosion of the bare aluminium sample (B), some protection with the sol-gel coating without bacteria (C) but no corrosion/biofouling of the biocoat sample (A).
