II II ABSTRACT The coating formation via sol-gel processing is a simple technology in principle but has required considerable effort to be of practical use. Compared to traditional coating methods, sol-gel coating permits microstructural as well as compositional tailoring prior to deposition. Several studies have shown that the coating can be controlled by varying process conditions. The purpose of this study was to prepare sol-gel derive silica hybrid coating and to determine the effects of variations in process conditions on the properties of the coating, including the corrosion, thickness, crack, micro-hardness and microstructure. The influence of various process conditions such as water concentration, aging time, addition of MoO3 and or H3BO3, and the heat-treatment temperature of the gel was also investigated. A major drawback of sol-gel processing for coating metals is cracking. In order to obtain better silica hybrid coatings with improved the surface properties and resistance to oxidation and corrosion, a new process has been explored. The main researches of this project are detailed in the following text: Preparation the various kinds of sols and coated on the glasses to find the reasonable molar ratios of silica sols to get better coating. Then using the preferred silica sols to coat on the substrate of iron and find the best molar ratio silica sol in relation to cracks in the coating. Adding MoO3 and or boric acid into the silica sol to change the composition and coat on the substrates of iron compact and 310 stainless steel. The coating composition and bonding were analyzed with FTIR, surface morphology was studied with SEM, micro-hardness was tested with Vickers Hardness Tester, and electrochemistry properties were tested with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
