| Due to the fact that it is highly toxic and carcinogenic, chromate-based surface treatment is restricted or gradually reduced in many countries. Among the alternatives to replace conventional chromate coatings, organosilanes show some important advantages such as competitive price and environmental compatibility. These substances inhibit the corrosion processes of metal surfaces but cannot offer long term-protection. For this reason, silane films have been modified by different procedures. In this paper, methods of improving the anticorrosive protective performance of silane films have been presented. |
