Characterization of RF-Sputtered ZnO Thin Film Coatings on Aluminum (Al6061): Microstructure, Wettability, Cavitation, and Corrosion Analysis
Abstract
<jats:p> The study focuses on the characterization of Aluminum (Al-6061) coated with RF-sputtered Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin film, aiming to understand the complex interactions between microstructure, wettability, cavitation resistance, and corrosion performance. The study involves the use of various analytical techniques such as Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and water contact angle (WCA) measurements. The cavitation erosion testing has been conducted under various factors namely jet velocity (m/s), impingement angle (°), and stand-off distance (cm), respectively, and that too at various levels. Further, with the use of RSM, the study also contributes to the interplay in between factors and acquiring optimized results. Moreover, the findings of the study provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the ZnO coating in enhancing corrosion resistance and reducing mass loss due to cavitation erosion. The study’s results offer significant implications for the engineering and design of protective coatings for Aluminum surfaces, with the potential to enhance durability and performance in various industrial applications. </jats:p>
