Resumen
Recently, new surface treatments for the corrosion protection of Al alloys by forming self-healing layers have attracted the attention of many researchers. The authors of this paper have previously developed self-healing polyurethane coatings with micro-capsules containing healing agents and porous anodic oxide films filled with healing agents. In this study, self-healing coatings consisting of an outer electrodeposited epoxy resin layer and an inner porous anodic oxide layer with healing agents were developed for the corrosion protection of Al alloys. The corrosion protection abilities of the self-healing coating were shown in Cu2+/Cl- solutions after damaging with indenters and were affected by freezing treatments and the tip angles of the indenter.
