Abstract

Aluminum alloy is one of the most used materials in the aeronautical, space and automotive sectors, being common the use of anodization and chromatization processes as surface treatment to improve its adhesion and protection against corrosion. However, they exhibit high toxicity. Among the most promising alternatives for the replacement of these processes are the sol-gel systems based on silanes, being that graphene oxide (GO) has been added to these films as nanoreforcement. However, many parameters may influence in the final efficiency of a nanocomposite synthesized via sol-gel, and it is not clear in the literature the influence of each one. Thus, the objective of this work is the development of nanocomposite films based on inorganic (tetraethoxysilane-TEOS) and organic (3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane-GPTMS) hybrid sol-gel, with the adition of GO, for adhesion and protection against corrosion of the aluminum alloy AA2024, studying in particular: viscosity at the time of film deposition, molar ratio TEOS/GPTMS and amount of GO. Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), viscosity, microscopy (SEM and confocal), associated with adhesion tests (tape test, shear, microhardness) and corrosion protection tests (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy - EIE - and immersion in synthetic sea water) will be carried out, and the correlation between the information obtained will allow the optimization of parameters for the development of coatings synthesized via sol-gel, aiming at the replacement of the current metal surface treatment methods practiced by the domestic industry, which are toxic, complex and expensive.
