Corrosion Prevention Using New Materials
Corrosion is a common problem in the TiO2 industry. Corrosion can be prevented by applying coatings of materials that have excellent corrosion resistance such as aluminum, stainless steel and nickel. These materials are often called “inhibitors” and are widely used in industries such as the automotive, electronics, aerospace and chemical fields.
The most widely used inhibitors are alumina (Al2O3) and chromium nitride (CrN). Alumina is a crystalline material with a very hard surface, and CrN is a hard ceramic material with excellent corrosion resistance. Both materials can be used to protect titanium dioxide equipment from corrosion. In addition, they can also be applied to titanium dioxide surfaces as a coating or in situ plating process to provide a barrier between the metal and the aggressive environment.
Another form of corrosion protection is provided by titanium oxide nanocomposite coatings. These coatings are made from a combination of titanium oxide and other materials such as steel or aluminum. The titanium oxide nanocomposite coatings provide excellent corrosion protection, are highly stable and can be applied to surfaces using physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods.
Wear Resistance
The TiO2 industry often requires wear resistance in order to improve durability and increase product life. Wear resistance can be improved by applying wear resistant materials such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3), silicon nitride (Si3N4) and titanium nitride (TiN). These materials have excellent wear resistance and can be applied to surfaces using physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods.
In addition, modern nanomaterials are being developed for improved wear resistance in the TiO2 industry. These nanomaterials include carbon nanotubes, nanowires and nano-structured films. These nanomaterials can be used to improve mechanical properties such as wear resistance, hardness and toughness without the need for a coating.
Conclusion
New materials have been developed for corrosion prevention and wear resistance in the TiO2 industry. These materials include alumina, chromium nitride and titanium oxide nanocomposite coatings, as well as carbon nanotubes, nanowires and nano-structured films. These materials can be used to improve corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and increase the effectiveness of the TiO2 industry.
