Design of corrosion resistant coatings targeted for versatile applications - COR_ID

Project summary

The COR_ID project under Topic 1: ICME addresses design and development of new targeted materials involving: modeling, simulation, experimental validation and multiscaling. The principle objective is to design and engineer new coatings with targeted properties of increased corrosion resistance, specific hydrophobic properties, prolonged service life-time and reduced ecological impact. Current state-of-the-art coatings do not satisfy completely engineering demands of having high corrosion protection and additional properties. The specific innovation is to design multifunctional compounds which would simultaneously act as high-quality corrosion protective and hydrophobic surface. It could be used to protect less corrosion resistant Al alloys and even secondary Al alloys. Industry driven needs will be solved using ICME approach and produce economical material benefiting with increased market competitiveness.
