Abstract
Corrosion performance of Zr-based coating on substrates obtained by zinc electrodeposition in an alkaline bath is compared to chromate coatings (Cr III and Cr VI). The “nano Zr” is a conversion coating formed by immersion in a hexafluorozirconic acid solution. Since the “nano Zr” coating is transparent, the addiction of a colorant provides color to the surface. In this case, the colorant, when applied after the conversion coating, conferred the yellow color to the surface. The coating produced improves the corrosion protection of the substrate. For this study the samples were analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and accelerated corrosion test in a humidity chamber. The results showed similar behaviors between the “nano Zr”, colorant and the chromate (Cr III) coating. Therefore this kind of conversion coating is a promising substitute for chromate coatings.

Resumo
No presente estudo, avaliou-se o desempenho de revestimentos à base de zircônio e corante sobre substratos de zinco obtidos por eletrodeposição em meio alcalino, em relação aos revestimentos de cromato (CrIII e CrVI). O revestimento “nano Zr” é obtido através da imersão em solução de conversão à base de ácido hexafluorzircônio. Uma vez que o revestimento “nano Zr” é transparente, a adição de um corante proporciona cor à superfície. Neste caso, o corante, quando aplicado depois do revestimento de conversão, confere cor amarela à superfície. O revestimento produzido melhora a proteção contra a corrosão do substrato. Para este estudo ensaios de espectroscopia de impedância eletroquímica (EIS) e testes em câmara úmida foram feitos. Os resultados mostraram comportamentos semelhantes entre o “Zr nano” e corante e o revestimento cromato (CrIII). Por conseguinte, este tipo de revestimento de conversão é um promissor substituto para os revestimentos de cromatização.
