The present work explores an environmental friendly method for forming conversion coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloy by applying a static magnetic field. An amorphous / nanocrystalline conversion coating was developed on magnesium alloys in a phosphate-permanganate aqueous solution under a 0.5 Tesla magnetic field. The examinations of the microstructure and phase compositions reveal that the conversion coating is composed of an amorphous structure and nanocrystalline structure with mean size less than 10 nm. In a corrosive chloride solution, the amorphous/nanocrystalline conversion coating with an artificial defect were investigated by scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET)/ scanning ion-selective electrode technique (SIET) system. The micro-electrochemical results reveal that the amorphous / nanocrystalline conversion coating as a good barrier layer can provide effective corrosion protection for AZ91D magnesium alloy.

An environmentally friendly molybdate conversion coating based surface treatment was developed for AZ91D magnesium alloy. The EIS technique was employed to study the effects of the conversion bath composition and temperature on the corrosion protection performance of molybdate conversion coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloys. The optimum conditions under which obtained conversion coatings showed the best corrosion resistance were determined. The Nyquist results showed that the value of charge transfer resistance increased by 22.5 times for the sample treated in the optimized molybdate conversion bath.
