The way of self-healing coating formation at the surface of magnesium alloys by means of plasma electrolytic oxidation method (PEO) with subsequent filling of the obtained layer with inhibitor has been suggested. The electrochemical properties of such coatings have been described in details. The obtained experimental results indicate that the protective properties of the samples with inhibitor-containing coating were increased (IC = 8.6×10–8 A/cm2) in comparison with the samples without coating (5.3×10–5 A/cm2) and the base coating obtained by plasma electrolytic oxidation method (PEO) (3.4×10–7 A/cm2). The local scanning electrochemical methods of surface investigation, notably Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique (SVET) and Scanning Ion-Selective Electrode Technique (SIET) were used for determining the kinetics and mechanism of the self-healing process. The treatment by the solution containing 8-hydroxyquinoline, which inhibits the corrosion process, enables one to increase the protective properties of the composite coating in 30 times in the corrosion-active environment in comparison with the base PEO-coating and avert the intensive destruction of the material.

Titanium, magnesium and zirconium alloys are widely used in industrial applications, which require high wear and corrosion resistance. However current methods of improving these properties often do not satisfy the requirements of service and functional properties. An alternative approach is the application of oxide-ceramic coatings using high temperature process. The coatings are applied by spark discharge plasma in the metal-electrolyte system at high voltages - PEO (plasma electrolytic oxidation) as an oxide synthesis method. This method has shown good results for aluminium alloys and with good prospects to be used for titanium, magnesium and zirconium alloys. Development of PEO technology to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of titanium, magnesium and zirconium alloys is discussed in this paper. It describes the methods for obtaining the required layer-thickness for a specified hardness, porosity, wear and corrosion resistance, sets up the optimal process parameters (voltage/current) by taking the relation of anodic to cathodic currents into account, and establishing the electrolyte content of different dopants.
