Abstract

Thin and homogeneous SiO2 films were prepared on aluminium plates from Si(OC2H5)4-C2H5OH-H2O solutions which had controlled compositions and did not contain any acid as a catalyst. Aluminium with the coatings showed good corrosion resistance. However, SiO2 films prepared from alkoxide solutions with HCI contained Cl ions. Aluminium with coatings including Cl ions corroded in a corrosion test. Alkoxide solutions without acids were necessary for use in the coating of aluminium. The transformation of gels prepared from solutions without acids to amorphous SiO2 was investigated.
