HYDROPHOBICATION OF THE SURFACE OF ALUMINUM AND ITS ALLOYS FOR PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC CORROSION
At the work the possibility of hydrophobization and superhydrophobization (SH) of aluminum alloys AD31 and AMg6 in ethanol solutions of higher carboxylic acids and vinyltrimethoxysilane was shown. The stability of the SH coatings has been studied. The protective ability of the SH coatings was evaluated by corrosion tests in a salt chamber.
