Anodic coatings were prepared by micro-arc oxidation on AZ91 magnesium alloys with the addition of 0-8 g/L tannic acid. The influences of tannic acid concentration on the conductivity and coating properties were studied. The result shows that with the increase of tannic acid concentration, the solution conductivity decreases and the coating color becomes dark. In the solution with 4 g/L tannic acid, the obtained coatings are the most uniform and achieve the best corrosion resistance.

Anodic coatings were prepared by micro-arc on AZ91 magnesium alloys in solutions with different calcium salts. The influence of calcium salts on the coating properties were studied. The result shows that anodic coatings formed in Ca (OH)2system has higher calcium content. When the Ca (OH)2concentrations is 2g/L, the Ca content is the highest, and the Calcium addition achieve the best corrosion resistance.

The microstructures and corrosion resistance of AZ91 and AZ91+0.5 wt.% erbium (Er) magnesium alloys were studied, respectively. The results show that the Er addition in scrap AZ91 magnesium alloy can improve the corrosion resistance, markedly. The discontinuous precipitation phase (DPP) for Mg17Al12was retarded and the amount of DPP was decreased by 41% due to the formation of Al8ErMn4phase during solidification. The amount of continuous precipitation phase (CPP) in grains was decreased by 8% because of the formation of Al7ErMn5phase during solidification.

Magnesium alloy as a green material in the 21st century, because of its excellent physical and mechanical properties of metallic materials as an ideal in the automotive industry, electronic industry and aviation, aerospace and other industries[1]. However, poor corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys become an important issue hinder application of magnesium alloys[2]. So magnesium alloy corrosion problems and the current status of research paper reviews several magnesium alloy protection methods at home and abroad, and also highlighted with our latest laser shock (LSP) study of AZ91 magnesium alloy at high strain rates of corrosion resistance results.

Anodic coatings were prepared by micro arc oxidation on AZ91HP in a base solution of 18 g/L Na2SiO3 ּ9H2Oand 4 g/L tannic acid with 5-20 g/l NaOH. The influence of NaOH concentration on final voltage and corrosion resistance were studied. The morphologies of anodic coatings were determined by environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). Potentiodynamic polarization test was performed in 3.5wt.% NaCl solution to evaluate the corrosion resistance of anodic coatings. The results show that the NaOH concentration has greatly effect on the final voltage, the compositions, thickness, morphologies and corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of anodic coatings is the best in the base solution containing 10 g/l NaOH.

AZ91 Mg alloy was micro arc oxidized under constant electrical parameters in silicate based and phosphate based electrolytes with and without addition of organic chemicals, namely Hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA), TRIS (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (THAM) and Glycerol in two different concentrations. Following oxidation, samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), coating thickness measurements, hardness measurements and electrochemical corrosion tests. Results showed that coating layers mainly consisted of MgO, Mg2SiO4 and MgF2 for silicate based electrolytes, and MgO for phosphate based electrolytes. Incorporation of organic chemicals into electrolyte composition did not change the type of the phases in the coating. However, when they are added in silicate based electrolytes, pore density and coating thickness are reduced and pore size is increased. On the other hand, there is no significant change in surface morphology when organic chemicals are added in phosphate based electrolyte. In the view point of corrosion resistance, organic chemicals did not enhance corrosion resistance of the samples oxidized in silicate based electrolytes, but exhibited some increment in corrosion resistance of the samples oxidized in phosphate based electrolytes.

The micro-arc oxidation technology were utilized to fabricated the ceramics coating in order to improve the corrosion resistance of Ti–6Al–4V alloy (TC4). The sodium silicate solution was introduced into the electrolyte solution for increasing the coating properties. The effect of the sodium silicate content on the phase composition, surface morphology and potentiodynamic polarization behavior was investigated. The results showed that the increase of Na2SiO3 concertration was benefit to improve corrosion resistance of the MAO coating of TC4 alloy. Key words: Micro-arc oxidation, Ceramic Coatings, Corrosion Resistance.

In aluminate alkaline electrolyte the effect of aluminate on the microstructure and properties and the MAO(micro-arc oxidation) behavior of micro-arc oxide film of AZ91 magnesium alloy was studied. Transmission electron microscope(TEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), X-ray diffraction(XRD), salt spray test and scanning electron microscope(SEM)were used to analyze and characterize the structure and properties of the film. The results show that the concentration of aluminate has an important effect on the tank voltage, corrosion resistance, surface morphology and phase structure of micro-arc oxidation film. The corrosion resistance and film quality of the film were increased first and then decreased, but the surface roughness decreased first and then increased with the increase of aluminate concentration from 5g/L to 30g/L. At our work, the concentration of 10g/L aluminate electrolyte is most favorable to the formation of micro-arc oxide film.
