Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses an ultra-slip inorganic zinc-rich coating and belongs to the technical field of metal anti-corrosion. Background Art

[0002] Steel is a widely used engineering material, which is found in all aspects of people's production and life. Statistics show that the loss of steel due to corrosion is as high as 10% of the total output worldwide each year, and the economic loss caused by steel corrosion accounts for about 3.5% of the gross national product. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt anti-corrosion measures for steel products, among which anti-corrosion coating is the most effective, economical and common practice.

[0003] Alcohol-soluble inorganic zinc-rich coating uses ethyl orthosilicate as a film-forming substance, and forms an iron-zinc silicate complex coating on the steel surface through a cross-linking reaction with zinc powder and surface iron atoms, and protects the steel through electrochemical protection and shielding effects, and has excellent anti-corrosion performance. However, due to the high zinc powder content in the coating, the coating has a porous structure, and the coating is hydrophilic. Water and corrosive media dissolved in water can easily contact the steel substrate, resulting in it not being directly used in the field of anti-corrosion in high humidity or water contact environments.

[0004] Super-slip coating is a new bionic material. In 2011, the Aizenberg research group at Harvard University simulated the principle of Nepenthes preying on insects on its smooth surface and proposed the concept of liquid-infused porous surface for the first time. By infusing the porous structure with a low-surface-energy liquid, the air film in the porous solid is replaced by a liquid film, forming a more stable "solid / liquid composite film layer". Due to the low surface energy of the liquid, the ambient liquid has a larger contact angle and a smaller sliding angle on the surface, making it difficult to adhere to or invade the surface, so the surface is also called a "super-slip surface". The liquid film on the super-slip surface can effectively prevent the corrosive medium from invading the coating, so it has a highly effective anti-corrosion effect.

[0005] The inorganic zinc-rich coating has a porous structure. If it can be combined with the super-slip coating technology, the coating may be able to effectively prevent the intrusion of liquid corrosive media and improve the coating's anti-corrosion effect in high humidity and water contact environments. Summary of the invention

[0006] Based on the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides an ultra-slip inorganic zinc-rich coating, the purpose of which is to solve the problem of poor anti-corrosion effect of inorganic zinc-rich coatings in high humidity and water contact environments by introducing ultra-slip coating technology, and further improve the anti-corrosion performance of inorganic zinc-rich coatings.

Component B is zinc powder. The mass ratio of component A to component B is 1:2-4.

[0011] Preferably, the low surface energy lubricating oil is perfluoropolyether.

[0012] Preferably, the small molecule hydrophobic agent in the component A is one or more of perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane, tridecafluorooctyltrimethoxysilane, heptadecafluorodecyltriethoxysilane and heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxysilane.

[0019] The ultra-slip inorganic zinc-rich coating of the present invention solves the problem of poor anti-corrosion effect of inorganic zinc-rich coating in high humidity and water contact environment by introducing ultra-slip coating technology, and further improves the anti-corrosion performance of inorganic zinc-rich coating.
