Advancements in Ceramic Coatings: Enhancing Corrosion Protection and Sustainability

Abstract

Corrosion poses a significant threat to the integrity and longevity of industrial infrastructure, necessitating effective mitigation strategies. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles of corrosion, including its electrochemical mechanisms, types, influencing factors, and mitigation techniques. Understanding these principles is crucial for developing preventive measures that enhance the durability and safety of materials exposed to corrosive environments. Ceramic coatings play a pivotal role in corrosion protection, offering robust barriers against environmental degradation. Recent advancements in ceramic coating technologies, including the integration of nanotechnology and hybrid materials, have significantly improved their corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Additionally, innovations in post-treatment processes and the development of eco-friendly production methods emphasize the industry’s commitment to sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Moving forward continued research in ceramic coatings promises to deliver advanced materials capable of addressing evolving challenges in corrosion protection across various industries. The discussion in this paper could greatly assist scientists and researchers.
