Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of aluminum alloy surface treatment technology and new corrosion-resistant and antifouling materials in harsh marine environments, and specifically relates to a micro-arc oxidation-rare earth modified FEVE composite coating on the surface of an aluminum alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Aluminum alloy, a metal material with an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, is widely used in marine engineering applications such as ships, offshore platforms, and offshore facilities due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, the unique characteristics of the marine environment, such as high salinity, strong UV radiation, humid climates, and complex microbial communities, pose significant challenges to the durability of aluminum alloys. Chloride ions in seawater can penetrate the aluminum alloy's oxide film and destroy its density, leading to corrosion phenomena such as pitting and crevice corrosion. Furthermore, organic matter, sediment, and the adhesion of microorganisms in the marine environment exacerbate fouling on the aluminum alloy surface and may even lead to the growth of mold, further compromising its performance. Surface corrosion not only reduces the metal's strength but can also cause stress corrosion cracking, threatening the integrity and safety of the structure. Furthermore, the presence of fouling and mold not only degrades the aluminum alloy's surface aesthetics but can also accelerate aging and reduce its resistance to environmental degradation. Therefore, to ensure the long-term stability and safety of marine engineering equipment, effective anti-corrosion, anti-fouling, and anti-mold treatments are essential for aluminum alloys. These treatments not only improve the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy surface and extend its service life, but also effectively inhibit the growth of dirt and mold, ensuring the reliability of the aluminum alloy in extreme marine environments.
[0003] At present, the anti-corrosion coatings widely used in the marine field include zinc-based, copper-based and other metal coatings and polymer coatings, which have achieved certain success in preventing seawater corrosion. However, the prevention and control effects of these coatings on biological fouling are relatively poor, and many traditional antifouling agents (such as copper-based coatings, zinc-based coatings, chlorides, etc.) have major environmental pollution problems. Although copper-based antifouling agents can effectively prevent the attachment of algae and shellfish, they are highly toxic to the marine ecosystem. Long-term use may cause water pollution, affect the growth of aquatic organisms, and even destroy the ecological balance. Over time, the effects of these traditional antifouling agents will gradually weaken, especially in high-salinity and high-temperature marine environments. The emergence of resistant organisms has caused these traditional antifouling materials to face a continuous decline in effectiveness. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a more environmentally friendly, long-lasting and efficient antifouling coating material to cope with the problems of corrosion and biological fouling in the marine environment.

The electrolyte formula is: 10g / L sodium hexametaphosphate, 8g / L sodium silicate, 4g / L sodium hydroxide, 6g / L niobium pentoxide, and the balance is water.
[0078] Step 2: Prepare a micro-arc oxidation (MAO) corrosion-resistant coating on the surface of the 5056 aluminum alloy. Place the cleaned aluminum alloy in the MAO electrolyte prepared in Step 1. Mechanically stir the MAO electrolyte at 50 rpm / min until the MAO process is complete. Maintain the electrolyte temperature at 20°C and MAO to obtain the inner layer.
[0079] Step 3, prepare anhydrous ethanol-KH550 aqueous solution, and perform interface transition treatment on the aluminum alloy micro-arc oxidation coating. Immerse the aluminum alloy micro-arc oxidation coating obtained in step 2 in anhydrous ethanol-KH550 solution for 30 minutes to form a transition layer. Then take out the workpiece and dry it in air or in an oven (60°C) for 45 minutes to ensure that the surface is completely dry. Further heat treatment (baking at 150°C for 60 minutes) is performed to enhance the interfacial bonding strength. The specific components and mass percentages of the anhydrous ethanol-KH550 aqueous solution are: 80% anhydrous ethanol, 18% pure water, and 2% KH550.
[0080] Step 4: Place the aluminum alloy obtained in step 3 into a drying oven and dry it at 60° C. for 45 min and then at 120° C. for 60 min.
[0081] Step 5, prepare an organic slurry containing nano silver copper alloy powder and FEVE fluorocarbon resin modified with rare earth lanthanum and holmium, and spray the organic slurry onto the surface of the aluminum alloy obtained in step 4 that has been subjected to micro-arc oxidation treatment to form an inner layer. The components and mass percentages of the modified organic slurry are: 7% nano silver copper alloy powder, 10% lanthanum nitrate, 10% holmium nitrate, 6% biuret, 12% anhydrous ethanol, and the remainder are FEVE fluorocarbon resin and xylene, and the mass ratio of the FEVE fluorocarbon resin to xylene is 2:1. The spraying thickness is 50±5μm, the particle size of the nano silver copper alloy powder is 100-800 mesh, and the mass ratio of Ag to Cu is 1:4. The aluminum alloy coated with the organic modified coating is placed in a drying oven and dried at 30-40°C for 24 hours.
[0082] The prepared integrated coating has a uniform, dense and relatively smooth surface, completely covering the surface of the 5056 aluminum alloy.
[0083] Step 6, the aluminum alloy composite coating obtained in step 5 and the aluminum alloy substrate are subjected to electrochemical test, using a PARSTAT 4000A electrochemical workstation, with a platinum sheet as the auxiliary electrode, a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) as the reference electrode, and a three-electrode system. The corrosion performance of the 5056 aluminum alloy substrate and the aluminum alloy composite coating sample in natural seawater is studied by open circuit potential (OCP) measurement, potentiodynamic polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to evaluate the corrosion behavior of the sample in natural seawater. The 5056 aluminum alloy substrate and the aluminum alloy composite coating are subjected to OCP test for 1200s, and the scanning rate is 2mV·s -1 . The corrosion potential (E corr ) and the corrosion current density (i corr ) are calculated by Tafel extrapolation method. The sample is immersed in natural seawater solution for 20min to stabilize the open circuit potential. In the frequency range of 10mHz-100kHz, a sinusoidal alternating current perturbation with an amplitude of 10mV is applied to the 5056 aluminum alloy substrate, and a sinusoidal alternating current perturbation with an amplitude of 100mV is applied to the 5056 aluminum alloy composite coating.
[0084] From Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , it can be seen that the corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy surface is greatly improved, the electrochemical corrosion potential moves greatly in the positive direction, and the self-corrosion current density is greatly reduced.
[0085] Step 7, the aluminum alloy composite coating obtained in step 5 and the aluminum alloy substrate are subjected to aspergillus flavus resistance test, and the 5056 aluminum alloy composite coating and the substrate are subjected to mildew resistance test according to GB / T1741-2020 "Paint film mildew resistance test method" 7.4.1 culture dish method. The test conditions are: time 14d, humidity 90%RH, temperature 28℃.
[0086] As Figure 14 shown, after the laboratory aspergillus flavus resistance test, the growth of mold on the surface of the coating is significantly reduced compared with the surface of the 5056 aluminum alloy substrate, showing excellent mildew resistance performance.
[0087] Step 8, the aluminum alloy composite coating obtained in step 5 and the aluminum alloy substrate are subjected to diatom resistance test, taking new moon rhombus diatom as the research object, and the diatom resistance of the coating is studied. The specific test method is as follows: the diatom liquid is placed in a sterilized conical flask, sealed with an aerobic base film, and then placed in a light incubator for activation and expansion. The light intensity is set to 3000lux, the light and dark cycle is 12 / 12h, the temperature is 21±2℃, and the conical flask is shaken 1-3 times a day during the culture process. When the number of diatoms reaches 1×10 5When the diatom solution reached a concentration of 1000 diatoms / mL, the diatom solution was aliquoted, with 500 mL added to each conical flask. The aluminum alloy composite coating (20 mm x 30 mm x 5 mm) and the aluminum alloy substrate (20 mm x 30 mm x 5 mm) were then placed on the flask for antifouling performance testing. The incubation conditions were: light intensity of 3000 lux, a 12 / 12 h light / dark cycle, and a temperature of 21 ± 2°C. The conical flasks were shaken 1–3 times daily during the incubation period. The coatings were removed from the diatom solution at various time intervals and the surface was gently rinsed with PBS buffer. After diatom attachment, the number of attached diatoms was observed under a fluorescence microscope.
[0088] like Figure 15 As shown in the figure, after the anti-diatom experiment in the laboratory, the diatom attachment on the coating surface was significantly reduced compared with the surface of the 5056 aluminum alloy substrate, showing excellent anti-biofouling performance.
