To improve the anti-corrosion properties of the AZ91D magnesium alloy, the electroless plating Ni-Co-P on the AZ91D magnesium alloy is necessary. The influences of additives (ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA)) on deposition rate, corrosion rate, acid resistance, corrosion current, corrosion potential and webster hardness of electroless plating Ni-Co-P alloy coating, were investigated using electrochemical methods, etc. The results show that the deposition rate and corrosion resistance properties of electroless plating Ni-Co-P are obviously improved when the additives, including NH4F (2%) and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA, 1%), are added into plating solution, respectively. In addition, the global particles in the Ni-Co-P coating become smaller with the addition of NH4F by comparison with no additives and coatings are dense, uniform and defect-free.

To improve the anti-corrosion properties of the aluminum, the electroless plating Ni-W-P on the aluminum is necessary. Investigation was made on the influences of additives (stabilizers and surfactants) on the deposition rate, weight loss corrosion rate, porosity, corrosion current, corrosion potential, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and webster hardness of electroless plating Ni-W-P alloy coating by electrochemical methods, etc. The results show that the deposition rate and anti-corrosion properties of electroless plating Ni-W-P are obviously improved when the stabilizer KIO3 (1mg/L) is added into plating solution. In addition, the Ni-W-P coating become more dense, uniform and defect-free with the addition of stabilizer KIO3 by comparison with no stabilizer. When the surfactant SDBS (50mg/L) added into bath, the corrosion resistance properties of electroless plating Ni-W-P alloy coating are also obtained.

To improve the wear resistance and anti-corrosion properties of the aluminum, the electroless plating Ni-W-Mo-P alloy on the aluminum is necessary. The influences of heat treatment and additives (stabilizers) on the porosity, deposition rate, corrosion current, corrosion potential, microhardness and wear resistance of electroless plating Ni-W-Mo-P alloy coating, were investigated using electrochemical methods, etc. The results show that the deposition rate and anti-corrosion properties of electroless plating Ni-W-Mo-P are improved when the stabilizers, including KI (1mg/L) and “KIO3 (1mg/L) + Pb (Ac)2 (1mg/L)”, are added into bath, respectively. In addition, the maximum hardness (902 HV) and good wear resistance of Ni-W-Mo-P coatings are obtained when heated at 400°C (1h). However, its corrosion resistance is worse. Its microhardness is also obviously improved after heated at 200°Cfor 6 h, and the microhardness reaches to 950 HV.

The corrosion resistance of a 1~2mm thick AZ91D magnesium alloy die-casting coated with epoxy varnish after phosphatizing was tested. Zinc phosphating solution was used. In the experiment, uniform paint was obtained by dipping method. Scratch test showed that the adhesion force between the coating and matrix is excellent. Within the test range the optimal phosphating temperature and time are 50°C and 1 min tested by dynamic potential scanning method. With the organic coating the corrosion current density decreased 3 orders of magnitude, the polarization resistance increased 3 orders of magnitude. The coated specimens were immersed in10% H2SO4, 10% NaOH and acetone for 10 days, respectively. The results showed that blistering did not occur on the paint films. This work illustrated that the simple zinc phosphating process combined with simple organic coating can meet the corrosion resistance requirements of thin-wall die casting magnesium components that require higher quality appearance.

Influence of surfactants on the corrosion properties of chromium-free electroless nickel deposit were investigated on AZ91D magnesium alloy. The corrosion tests were carried out by immersion test (1 M HCl) and electrochemical polarization test (3.5 wt% NaCl ). The surfactants in the electroless nickel bath increases the corrosion resistance properties of the deposit on the magnesium alloy. In addition, smoothness and amorphous plus nano-crystalline phase were increased and accounted for the significant corrosion resistance. As a consequence, the corrosion potential moved towards the positive direction and the corrosion current density decreased. The immersion tests also provided the same trend as that of electrochemical polarization test. On the whole, the study concluded that corrosion resistance was enhanced by including a surfactant in the electroless deposits on magnesium alloy.

In order to improve anti-corrosion property of magnesium alloy parts in equipment, Al-based alloy coating on ZM5 magnesium alloy was prepared by supersonic particles deposition (SPD). Mass gain after being corroded, surface morphology of samples corroded and corrosion products were investigated by salt-mist test, SEM observation and EDS analysis etc. The results indicated that the mass gain of Al-Si coating after being corroded decreased evidently compared with magnesium alloy substrate. Al-Si coatings with thickness above 0.5mm did not generate blisters after 500h salt-mist test, proving that the coating possessed excellent anti-corrosion property.
