This study thoroughly investigates the inhibition of corrosion efficiency using silica sand (SiO2), specifically tailored for coating applications in aerospace, marine, and industrial sectors. The primary objective was to enhance corrosion efficiency beyond 90%, making it suitable for various industrial applications. To further ensure the reliability of this result, the Box-Behnken statistical design, implemented in Minitab, was used to optimize and refine the process parameters to improve corrosion efficiency. Various influencing factors, such as particle size, concentration, and pH, were systematically analyzed to determine their impact on corrosion resistance. Experimental validation confirmed that silica sand (SiO2), coatings significantly enhance durability and performance under harsh environmental conditions. This research provides a foundation for developing advanced protective coatings with enhanced longevity, contributing to cost-effective and sustainable corrosion prevention solutions across multiple industries.
