Pre-Demonstration Development of Controlled-Release Corrosion Inhibitors and Healing Agents as Alternatives to Hexavalent Chromium
Abstract
AMI achieved the scalability of the encapsulation process for two corrosion inhibitors by starting with a thorough assessment of the laboratory scale process, designed to optimize parameters including surfactant type, surfactant concentration, process temperature profile, process duration, and micro particle yield per batch. Evidence of resistance to alkaline cleaners and aircraft deicing fluids and compliance with MIL-PRF-23377 was gathered by replacing the inhibitor package, of a primer that meets the MIL-PRF-23377 requirements, with an encapsulated inhibitor and self-healing microcapsules. The properties of the primer formulation, that were expected to change, were tested to demonstrate that the primer still met the MIL-PRF23377 requirements.
