Abstract

[Objective]To achieve high-efficiency corrosion resistance of chromium-free Zn-Alsystem under ultrathin coating conditions.[Methods]A multifunctional composite coating system was constructed,using hydrogenated bisphenol A epoxy resin as the matrix,flake Zn-Al powder as the anti-rust pigment,and compounded with nano-indium oxide and PTFE-modified polyethylene wax powder.[Results]Compared with conventional spherical zinc powder,flake Zn-Al powder,arranged through face-to-face contact,significantly improves the coating′s conductivity and physical shieldingperformance. When the aluminum powder accounts for 7% of the total zinc-aluminum mass,it can effectively inhibit the dissolution rate of the Zn anode and the formation of white rust. The appropriateaddition of nano-indium oxide(1%)can enhance the stability of the coating′s microscopic conductive pathways,and through the synergistic mechanism of local electron migration and Cl . adsorption, significantly extend the cathodic protection period. The introduction of low-melting-point PTFE-modified PE wax powder allows for directional migration and enrichment to the coating surface duringthermal curing,forming a dense hydrophobic surface layer that further blocks the penetration of corrosive media,thereby synergistically enhancing corrosion resistance.[Conclusion] This coating system demonstrates excellent mechanical stability and long-lasting corrosion resistance,showing potential as a green alternative Zn-Al anti-corrosion coating.
