| dc.description.abstract | Corrosion is the decomposition of metal and metal alloys which threatens the integrity of manmade
structures. One of the more efficient methods of delaying the corrosion process in metals is by
coatings. In this work, the durability of two polyester powder coatings were investigated for corrosion
protection of AA-2024-T3. Polyester powder coatings crosslinked by either triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC)
or β-hydroxyalkyl amide (HAA) compounds were prepared and investigated for barrier protection of metal
substrates by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Polyester-TGIC coatings were found to
provide better long-term protection, which can be attributed to the increased mechanical strength and
higher concentration of crosslinking in the coating films. Additionally, the polyester powder coatings, along
with a fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) were investigated for their compatibility as a topcoat for magnesiumrich
primers (MgRP). Under proper application conditions, powder topcoats were successfully applied to
cured MgRP while corrosion protection mechanisms of each system were maintained. | en_US |
