Sol–gel coatings on metals for corrosion protection

Abstract Sol–gel protective coatings have shown excellent chemical stability, oxidation control and enhanced corrosion resistance for metal substrates. Further, the sol–gel method is an environmentally friendly technique of surface protection and had showed the potential for the replacement of toxic pretreatments and coatings which have traditionally been used for increasing corrosion resistance of metals. This review covers the recent developments and applications of sol–gel protective coatings on different metal substrates, such as steel, aluminum, copper, magnesium and their alloys. The challenges for industrial productions and future research on sol–gel corrosion protective coatings are also briefly discussed.
