In order to resolve the corrosion resistance of the Mg-Sr-Al-Y alloy, the micro arc oxidation technology were utilized to fabricated the oxidation coating in this paper. The potassium sodium tartrate (C4O6H4KNa) solution was introduced into the electrolyte solution for improving the coating properties. The effect of the C4O6H4KNa content on the phase composition, surface morphology and potentiodynamic polarization behavior was investigated. Compared with the Mg-Sr-Al-Y matrix alloy, the specimen with sodium citrate had high relatively positive potential and low corrosion current , so it proved that the introduce of the doped C4O6H4KNa would improved the corrosion resistance properties. Key words: Micro arc oxidation, Potassium sodium tartrate (C4O6H4KNa), Polarization behavior, Corrosion resistance properties.

The goal of studying corrosion process is to find means of minimizing corrosion or prevent it from occurring. The use of inhibitors is one of the most popular methods for corrosion protection. A protective film has been formed on the surface of the mild steel in a neutral aqueous environment using a synergistic mixture of an eco-friendly inhibitor viz., Potassium Sodium Tartrate (SPT) along with polyacrylic acid (PAA) and Zn2+ ions. The inhibiting effect of SPT, PAA and Zn2+ ions have been investigated by gravimetric studies, Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The investigations revealed that SPT acts as an excellent synergist in corrosion inhibition. Optimum concentrations of all the three components of the ternary formulation are established by gravimetric studies. Potentiodynamic polarization studies inferred that this mixture functions as a cathodic inhibitor. EIS studies of the metal/solution interface indicated that the surface film is highly protective against the corrosion of mild steel. Surface characterization techniques (FTIR, SEM, AFM) are also used to ascertain the nature of the protective film. The mechanical aspect of corrosion inhibition is proposed.
