In order to investigate the effect of the composition of weather-resistant coatings on physical properties, three different weather-resistant coatings were prepared by varying the ratio of a mill-base silicone/acrylic resin and let-down silicone/acrylic resin in weight ratios of 2 : 8, 3 : 7, and 4 : 6. The physical properties and weather-resistance of the prepared coatings were tested. It was found that the thermal stability, salt spray exposure, and weather-resistance were improved with increasing the amount of silicone. The optimum mixing ratio of mill-base silicone/acrylic resin to the let-down silicone/acrylic resin was 2 : 8. The coating containing silicone component of 30 wt% was found to be suitable as high weather-resistant coatings.

Galvanized steel has gone through a chemical process to keep it from corroding. The steel gets coated in layers of zinc because rust will not attack this protective metal. For countless outdoor, marine, or industrial applications, galvanized steel is an essential fabrication component. The reduction of the corrosion rate of zinc is an important topic. In the past, a very popular way to reduce the corrosion rate of zinc was to use chemical conversion layers based on $Cr^{+6}$. However, a significant problem that has arisen is that the use of chromium salts is now restricted because of environmental protection legislation. Therefore, it is very important to develop new zinc surface treatments that are environmentally friendly to improve the corrosion resistance of zinc and adhesion with a final organic protective layer. In this study, a Urethane solution (only Urethane 20 wt.%; S-700) and an organic/inorganic solution with Si (Si polysilicate 10 wt.% + Urethane 10 wt.%; LRO-317) are used. Based on the salt spray test of 72 h, S-700 and LRO-317 had a superior effect for the corrosion resistance on EGI and HDGI, respectively.

Chromate conversion coating is a coating technique used to passivate aluminum, zinc, cadmium, copper, silver, magnesium, tin, and their alloys to slow corrosion. The process uses various toxic chromium compounds, which may include hexavalent chromium. The industry is developing less toxic alternatives in order to comply with substance restriction legislation, such as RoHS. One alternative is to develop a Cr-free coating solution. In this study, eco-friendly, Cr-free solutions (urethane solution S-700, organic/inorganic solution with Si LRO-317) were used. Test specimens were dried in a drying oven at $190^{\circ}C$ for 3, 5, 7, and 9 minutes. Corrosion resistance was evaluated using a salt spray test for 72 hours. The results show that the optimum corrosion resistance was achieved at $190^{\circ}C$ for five minutes for EGI and three or five minutes for HDGI, respectively. The adhesive properties of the two types of coating solutions were superior regardless of drying time.

Zinc has a number of characteristics that make it well suited for use as a coating to protecting iron and steel products from corrosion. Its excellent corrosion resistance in most environments accounts for its successful use as a protective coating on a variety of products and in many exposure conditions. The excellent field performance of zinc coatings results from their ability to form dense, adherent films that corrode at a rate that ranges from 1% to 10% of the corrosion rate of ferrous materials, depending on the environment. Recently, EU RoHS and EU ELV prohibited the use of materials that adversely affect the environment, such as Pb, Hg, Cd, and $Cr^{+6}$. In this study, environmentally-friendly, Cr-free solutions (epoxy solution, acrylic solution, and urethane solution S-700) and organic/inorganic solution with Si; LRO-317) were used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of zinc-coated steel subjected to a saltwater spray for 72 hours. The coating of urethane solution (S-700) was best among the three kinds of solution with heat treatment during five minutes at $190^{\circ}F$. Test specimens with S-700 and LRO-317 coating were heat treated in a drying oven at 170, 180, 190, 200, and $210^{\circ}C$ for five minutes. The results show that the optimum corrosion resistance was $190^{\circ}C$ in EGI and $170^{\circ}C$ in HDGI, respectively.

The demand for cold rolled steel (CR) for structural members is gradually increasing. If no surface treatment (coating for corrosion resistance) for CR is conducted, its use is very limited because CR is vulnerable to corrosion. Therefore, we need to develop a coating solution to provide high corrosion resistance for CR. In this study, an organic/inorganic coating solution with Si and Ti (Si polysilicate 7 wt.% + Urethane 13 wt.% + Ti amorphous 0.5 wt.%; LR-0727(1)) was used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of CR under a salt spray test. The specimens with the LR-0727(1) coating were heat treated in a drying oven at $120{\sim}210^{\circ}C$for 5 min. The corrosion resistance was investigated using a salt spray test of 7 h. In addition, an adhesive test was conducted. Rust showed under a heat treatment of $150^{\circ}C$, but no vestiges were found over $160^{\circ}C$. The specimens with heat treatment at $160^{\circ}C$ or more did not experience delamination. From these results, it is considered that the temperature limit for optimum heat treatment is $160^{\circ}C$ considering energy efficiency.

Demand for developing artificial green pearl that meets the needs of modern people has been increasing. In this paper, eco-friendly inorganic pearlescent pigment was used instead of organic pigment and urethane resin was substituted for nitrocellulose which has been used as main materials in previous preparation method, increasing gloss from 73.4% to 86.7%. Urethane was coated on substrate before finishing with CVD, resulting high gloss of 96%. Colorimeteric analysis shows that a* and b* of CIE value was changed from +37.7 and +24.5 to +31.9 and +14.2 respectively because of CVD finishing, obtaining colorful, high gloss and durable artificial pearl. Quality and toxicity of samples was established by chemical resistance, glossiness, colorimeter, surface roughness, wear resistance, content of heavy-metal, and salt water test.

New sol-gel precursors having the ability to protect iron against corrosion were synthesized and used to prepare organic-inorganic hybrid coatings based on epoxy. Bisphenol A epoxy was modified with 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane to improve the compatibility, and water and HCl were used as catalysts for sol-gel process. Various coating formulations were prepared depending on the type of sol-gel precursors and the amount of each ingredient, and cast on iron substrates by dip-coating and thermally cured. Corrosion protection properties of coated iron were studied by a salt spray test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy under 0.1 M NaCl electrolyte. Hybrid coatings containing anticorrosive functional group exhibited excellent corrosion protection on iron, compared to that of typical hybrid coatings. From electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the hybrid coatings containing anticorrosive functional group could maintaine the initial impedance after 500 h, while the impedance of hybrid coatings without them started to decrease after 24 h.

Mg alloys AZ31 and AZ91 were Plasma-Electrolytic-Oxidized in Na-P and Na-Si system electrolyte at various concentration, applied voltage and time. Thickness and surface roughness of PEO coating were examined. Salt spraying test were carried out to compare their corrosion resistances. Generally, corrosion resistances rate were increased as thickness and crystallinity increasing. Size of pore being larger, long term corrosion resistance decreased. It is turned out that $Mg_2SiO_4$ and other crystalline phase rather than MgO might be increase corrosion resistance dramatically.

인산-망간 화성피막의 경우 양질의 피막층을 형성하기 위하여 표면조정제를 사용하고 있으며, 화성피막 직전에 표면 조정제 처리를 하여 피막 결정의 미세, 치밀, 균일하게 하는 동시에 피막의 화성시간을 단축하고 있다. 본 연구는 표면조정제의 입자 사이즈에 따른 화성피막 입자 사이즈 변화 및 물리적인 특성 향상을 확인하였다. 하지금속 소재로는 기계구조용 탄소강재(SM45C)을 $50{\times}50{\times}3mm$로 제작하였고, 전처리 공정으로는 탈지 ${\rightarrow}$ 에칭 ${\rightarrow}$ 디스머트 후 표면조정제 입자 사이즈별로 표면조정 후, 화성피막 처리를 하였으며 각 조건에 따른 피막 층의 미세조직은 SEM을 사용하여 관찰하였고, 윤활성은 내마모시험기(Ball on disc)를 사용하여 마찰계수 측정을 통해 확인하였으며, 내식성은 5% NaCl 염수분무를 실시하여 적청 발생 면적으로 측정하였다. 표면조정제의 입자 사이즈는 4종류로 세분화하여 표면조정 후 화성피막 처리하였으며, 표면조정제의 입자 사이즈를 미세화함에 따라 화성피막의 입자 사이즈가 미세, 균일해지고 피막의 치밀도가 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 표면조정제의 미분화는 소재 표면에 작고 치밀한 결정(활성점)을 만들며, 표면조정제의 입자 사이즈가 작아질수록 이러한 활성점의 크기가 미세해지고 화성피막의 입자 사이즈 또한 미세화 시키는 역할을 하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이처럼 표면 조정제의 입자 사이즈에 따른 화성피막 입자 사이즈 및 물성변화는 SEM, 내마모시험 및 내식성 시험을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, 표면조정제의 입자 사이즈가 미세해질수록, 화성피막의 입자사이즈가 미세화되었고, 윤활성 및 내식성이 향상되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
