Abstract:
1. A method of treating a metal to improve the metal's corrosion resistance, said method comprising: applying, to the surface of the metal, a coating which consists essentially of magnesium powder and an inorganic binder, wherein the inorganic binder comprises a tetraalkyl orthosilicate; or wherein the inorganic binder comprises one or more trialkoxy monoalkyl silanes and one or more tetraalkyl orthosilicates; or wherein the inorganic binder comprises two or more trialkoxy monoalkyl silanes and one or more tetraalkyl orthosilicates and wherein at least one of the trialkoxy monoalkyl silanes is an amine-containing trialkoxy monoalkyl silane; or wherein the inorganic binder comprises two or more trialkoxy monoalkyl silanes and one or more tetraalkyl orthosilicates and wherein at least one of the trialkoxy monoalkyl silanes is an acrylate-containing or methacrylate-containing trialkoxy monoalkyl silane; or wherein the inorganic binder comprises two or more trialkoxy monoalkyl silanes and one or more tetraalkyl orthosilicates and wherein at least one of the trialkoxy monoalkyl silanes is an amine-containing trialkoxy monoalkyl silane and wherein another of the trialkoxy monoalkyl silanes is an acrylate-containing or methacrylate-containing trialkoxy monoalkyl silane.
