XPS and corrosion studies on zinc phosphate treated surfaces of aluminum

The work in this thesis deals with an investigation of zinc phosphate (ZPO) treated surfaces of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and corrosion tests are used to characterize the treated surfaces and to examine their corrosion protection performance. The coating proc...
