There is a growing interest in conversion coatings based on titanium and/or zirconium as the
result of the health and environmental issues associated with legacy chromate and …

Corrosion is recognized as an unavoidable phenomenon and steel, particularly carbon
steel, is strongly susceptible to corrosion. Corrosion damages cause serious material …

Corrosion behavior of unrusted Q235 carbon steel was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solutions
with 1–5 wt% tannic acid addition, using electrochemical methods including electrochemical …

The inhibitive action of mangrove tannins, extracted from mangrove barks and phosphoric
acid, on pre-rusted steel in a 3.5% NaCl solution was evaluated and the inhibitive efficiency …

Research was performed on both phosphoric and tannic acids as chemicals for rust
transformation. The interaction and phase transformation kinetics of the reaction between …

The reaction between tannic acid and metallic iron was studied using infrared and
Mössbauer spectroscopy. Iron converts to sparingly soluble and amorphous ferric tannate …

Research studies were carried out using AISI 1010 (UNS G10100) steels, treated with tannin
primers formulated with natural tannins extracted from Chilean radiata pine species and …

A novel water-based rust converter 2-hydroxypropyl 3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoate (named as
RC-GAE) was prepared by using an esterification reaction between 1, 2-propylene glycol …

A systematic effort has been made to analyze the reported works on rust converters. The
review starts with a concise description of the nature of rust formed and its role in the rust …

Traditional conversion coatings on magnesium alloys are usually immersed in a solution
containing hexavalent chromium compounds. However, the replacement treatments have …
