Abstract
Ca-Al-Layered Double Hydroxide (Ca-Al-LDH) coating was explored on 2024-T3 aluminium alloy by in situ growth methodology following a 1 h treatment at atmospheric pressure. Mn-based species were successfully incorporated into the Ca-Al-LDH structure by a low-temperature post-treatment (Ca-Al-LDH-Mn). Both LDH coatings disclosed a flaky-like morphology and low thickness (~0.6 µm). Ca-Al-LDH-Mn coating showed optimal paint adhesion and the highest long-term corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Evaluation of scribed LDH specimens by SEM/EDS techniques up to 7 days of immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution revealed that the presence of Mn species in the Ca-Al-LDH-Mn provided active corrosion protection.
