Abstract
In the past, a very popular way to reduce the corrosion rate of zinc was the use of chemical conversion layers based on . However, the use of chromium salts is now restricted because of environmental protection legislation. Previous research investigated the optimum corrosion resistance of galvanized steel treated with an organic/inorganic solution containing Si. The result showed that the optimum corrosion resistance occurred by heat treatment of in 5 min. In this study, one organic and three hybrid organic/inorganic coating solutions were applied to cold-rolled (CR) carbon steel. The coatings were then evaluated for corrosion resistance under a salt spray test. The coating solutions examined in this study consisted of urethane-only, urethane-Si, urethane-Si-Ti, and urethane-Si-Ti-epoxy. The results of the 7 h salt spray test showed that the urethane-Si-Ti and urethane-Si-Ti-epoxy coating solutions had superior corrosion resistance on CR steel.
