Visser, P. (author), Terryn, H.A. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author)This study presents the active protective properties of lithium-leaching coatings for a range of aluminium alloys. Coatings with and without lithium carbonate as leachable inhibitor were applied on the aluminium alloys, artificially damaged and exposed to the neutral salt spray. A combined approach of scanning electron microscopy and...journal article 2019

Visser, P. (author), Meeusen, M. (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author), Terryn, H.A. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author)This work presents the electrochemical evaluation of protective layers generated in a coating defect from lithium-leaching organic coatings on AA2024-T3 aluminum alloys as a function of neutral salt spray exposure time. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to study the electrochemical properties on a macroscopic scale. An...journal article 2017

Abrahami, S.T. (author), Hauffman, T. (author), de Kok, John M.M. (author), Terryn, H.A. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author)The long-term strength and durability of an adhesive bond is dependent on the stability of the oxide-adhesive interface. As such, changes in the chemistry of the oxide and/or the adhesive are expected to modify the interfacial properties and affect the joint performance in practice. The upcoming transition to Cr(VI)-free surface pretreatments...journal article 2017
