Abstract
Corrosion of metal surfaces, particularly aluminum or aluminum alloy surfaces, is inhibited by contacting the metal surfaces with a solution comprising a mercapto-substituted silane and then preferably baking the metal to cure the silane coating. Multifunctional organo-mercapto-substituted silanes are preferred in the practice of the process. Preferably, the treatment solution is an aqueous mixture of the mercapto-substituted silane and selected solvents.
