The micro-arc oxidation process parameters of AZ91D Mg alloy and Na2WO4 concentration were optimized by orthogonal experiment. SEM, EDX, XRD, potentiodynmic polarization and immersion corrosion test were carried out to investigate the morphologies, phase composition and corrosion resistance of the MAO coatings. The results shown that the MAO coating are mainly composed of MgOMg2SiO4MgAl2O4,MgWO4 and a small amount of amorphous material as well as with a double layer structure, outer loose and inner denser, the proper parameters and additive concentration were: 300Hz,5.0A/dm2,50%/50% and 2.0g/l Na2WO4. The MAO coatings coated under the proper condition on AZ91D Mg alloy motorcycle parts provided the far batter corrosion resistance than the substrate, suggesting that MAO coatings can effectively protect the motorcycle parts against the erosion from corrosion medium. Meanwhile, it also found that the irregular part shape has some influence on the coatings formation as well as corrosion resistance.

: A comparative study of the corrosive resistance and dross formation of 55Al–Zn–1.6Si (wt%) (55AZS) and 23Al–Zn–0.3Si–xMg (wt%) (23AZS–xMg, x = 0, 1.5, 3) alloys are performed using immersion corrosion and dross formation test, respectively. The result of immersion corrosion testing shows that corrosive rate of the 23AZS alloy is lower than that of 55AZS alloy in the latter stage of immersion and 23AZS–1.5Mg alloy shows the optimal corrosive resistance compared to other alloys relatively. The result of dross formation test shows that the number of bottom dross particle formed in 23AZS–xMg (x = 0, 1.5, 3) alloy is less than that in 55AZS alloy. Moreover, the thermodynamic calculation is performed to reveal the solubility of Fe in the alloys, the result shows the solubility of Fe reduces as a decrease of Al content in the alloy, and the number of dross particle (Fe4Al13 and 6 (Al9Fe2Si2) phase) generated in 23AZS alloy is more than that in 55AZS alloy. In general, 23AZS–1.5Mg alloy has an advantage of less dross and a certain corrosion resistance and it is expected to be applied for the hot stamping process of coating.

In this paper,the micro-arc oxidation technology were utilized to fabricated the oxidation coating in order to resolve the corrosion resistance of the Mg-Al-Y alloy. The EDTA-2Na solution was introduced into the electrolyte solution for improving the coating corrosion properties.After the micro-arc oxidation process, phase structural, surface morphology and corrosion resistance of the MAO coating of Mg-Al-Y alloy were performed by XRD, SEM and Potentiodynamic polarisation measurements. The introduce of EDTA-2Na in the electrolyte solution improve the positive potential and reduced the corrosion current, which would improve the corrosion resistance properties of the Mg-Al-Y alloy.

AZ91 Mg alloy was subjected to the micro arc oxidation process by using different processing parameters. Following oxidation, surface topography and qualitative phase analysis were made by tabletop digital microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. In order to evaluate the relative corrosion resistance of the samples that were oxidized in different parameters, the samples were immersed in a corrosive solution for 6 days and the weight losses before and after the corrosion tests were compared. Relative corrosion resistance of the samples was evaluated on the basis of surface topography.

The applications of magnesium (Mg) alloys as biodegradable orthopedic implants are mainly restricted due to their rapid degradation rate in the physiological environment. In this study, Si–CaP micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings were prepared on a Mg–Zn–Ca alloy by a second-step MAO process at different voltages in order to decrease the degradation rate and increase the bioactivity of the alloy. The microstructure and morphology of the samples were characterized using XRD, FT-IR SEM and EDS. The degradation behaviours of samples were evaluated using electrochemical techniques, and immersion tests in simulated body fluid (SBF). The results indicate that the morphology of the Si–CaP coatings changed significantly with the increase in Ca/P ratio as the second-step voltage increased. The Si–CaP containing coating produced at 450 V could significantly decrease the degradation rate of Mg and caused a slow increase in pH of the SBF solution. The haemolysis test concluded that the coating C3 did not cause a haemolytic reaction. The corrosion resistance of Mg alloy was greatly improved with the Si–CaP coatings, and the Mg alloy with Si–CaP coating prepared at 450 V had the best corrosion resistance, which indicates that the Si–CaP coatings are promising for improving the biodegradation properties of Mg-based orthopedic implants. Haemolysis tests indicated that the Si–CaP coating prepared at 450 V conforms to the given standard (YY/T0127.1-93).

Surface nano-crystallization (SNC) of a conform-extruded Cu-0.4 wt.% Mg alloy was successfully conducted by high-speed rotating wire-brushing to obtain the deformed zone with dislocation cells and nanocrystallines. SNC promotes the anodic dissolution and corrosion rate of the Cu-Mg alloy in the initial stage of immersion corrosion in 0.1 M NaCl solution. The weakened corrosion resistance is mainly attributed to the higher corrosion activity of SNC-treated alloy. With extending the immersion time, the SNC-treated alloy slows the corrosion rate dramatically and exhibits uniform dissolution of the surface. The formation of the dense corrosion products leads to the improvement of overall corrosion performance. It indicates that the SNC-treated Cu-Mg alloy can function reliably for a longer duration in a corrosive environment.

This paper applied the micro-arc oxidation technology to TIG weld joint based on titanium alloy. The optical microscope, SEM, XRD and polarization curve were used to analyze the joints metallographic phase, the coating morphology, the phase composition and corrosion resistance. Research results showed that the grain was grew gradually coarser from base metal to joint. The joint surface obtained a uniform morphology after micro-arc oxidation. The joint and base metal was made up of α-Ti and their coatings are mainly composed by rutile-TiO2. The surface morphology and phase composition are similar after micro-arc oxidation. Polarization curve tests demonstrated that the corrosion potential performance of the coating was enhanced by micro-arc oxidation.
