Nanoceramic Coating an Introduction
Advantages of Nanoceramic Coating over Zinc phosphate coating – Zinc Phosphate Coating has been widely used in metal pretreatment for more than five decades. Limitations of traditional zinc phosphate coating: High energy and power consumption; excessive sludge formation, posing disposal issues; prolonged processing time, especially for room-temperature phosphate coatings. Zirconia, titania, ceria, and zinc oxide coatings have been researched for superior corrosion resistance. Nano-coatings do not form insoluble sludge, making them eco-friendly alternatives. No heavy metals such as chromium, nickel, or manganese are involved. Applications in Marine and Industrial Sectors: Nano-ceramic coatings help in preventing microbial colonization and fouling in marine environments and in improving durability in industrial applications.
