PROTECTION OF THE 5556 ALUMINUM ALLOY AGAINST PITTING CORROSION BY Ti, Zr-CONTAINING COATINGS
In the process of performing the work, the basic patterns of coating formation are identified. The composition of the solution and the process parameters were optimized, the physicochemical properties of the coatings were studied in order to be able to use them as a replacement for chromate coatings. It is established that the inclusion of cerium ions in the coating improves its resistance to pitting corrosion.
