Organically modified silicate (Ormosil) coatings have been synthesized through the sol-gel method for corrosion protection of aluminum alloy. Silica-based unmodified coatings were also designed to investigate the effect of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) content on the properties of the coatings. The surface morphology of the coatings was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by immersion test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. In addition, the surface potential differences of the coated samples were determined by scanning Kelvin probe. The results showed that a better corrosion resistance of unmodified coating was prepared by controlling the TEOS/EtOH/H2O molar ratio of 0.109/1/1.52. Ormosil coatings provided excellent barrier properties and corrosion resistance in comparison with the unmodified sol-gel coatings. The Ormosil coating modified with triethoxyoctylsilane exhibited corrosion resistance properties superior to the other Ormosil coatings after exposure to 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 10 days.
