As far as the automotive sector is concerned, braking discs (BDs) are objects usually made of Grey Cast-Iron (GCI), i.e. a material exhibiting overall good mechanical properties and castability, but poor corrosion resistance. In particular, looking at the standard working conditions of a disc brake system, several environmental factors can cause and enhance GCI corrosion phenomena, such as: i) atmospheric moisture; i) ionic species contained in aerosols (e.g., chlorides and sulfates); iii) air differential corrosion caused by discs surface soiling by mud or other materials; and iv) galvanic coupling between the rotor and the braking pads.

This manuscript describes the development and optimization of sol-gel SiO2 -based Hybrid-Organic-Inorganic (HIO) coatings for application as corrosion protective layer on rotors employed in disc brake systems. The corrosion protection achieved with the coatings is optimized by tuning their water wettability, surface free energy (SFE), thickness and cross-linking degree, which strongly depend on sol chemical composition. Optimal film features are obtained modifying the silica network with organic components and accurately tailoring the deposition parameters. In particular, a Design of Experiment (DoE) approach is used to optimize the composition of the coatings and thereby their corrosion protection capability. Anti-corrosion properties of the coatings are assessed by means of the voltammetry probe: the corrosion potential and corrosion current, as obtained from Tafel curve fitting, are used as figures of merit. Their correlation with synthesis parameters such as silica concentration, inorganic/organic silane ratio and film thickness are widely discussed to determine the most relevant factors in the production of such coatings as protective layers for braking discs.

The goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit global warming to below 2°C, preferably 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels.1 While the world is slowly transitioning to more sustainable energy sources to reach this target, one of the ways to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere is to capture it and store it in depleted gas fields. According to the IOGP1, the total number of CCS projects in Europe is 65 in 2022.2 The aim of these projects is to store around 60 MtCO₂/yr by 2030.

Bulk items such as cast and forged valves are installed under various temperature conditions. It is exposed to a wide range of temperatures, therefore the coating product applied to bulk items should have appropriate heat resistance performance. However, it is very difficult to select a suitable coating system since the temperature condition is not determined in the valve manufacturing stage. For this reason, unsuitable coating systems are often applied, causing coating defects in the field operation. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a coating system that can cover a wide temperature range to prevent this problem.

Metal loss due to corrosion is a universal phenomenon in refineries which could in turn cause leakage or explosion if not well monitored. There are several units in a refinery such as crude distillation unit, hydro-processing unit, acid alkylation unit, etc. In each unit, there are hundreds of pressure vessels which have different potential damage mechanisms. Hence, it’s critical to establish an effective and efficient way to monitor thickness changing behavior.
