In order to improve and simplify the process of electroless Ni-P plating on AZ91D magnesium alloy substrate, pretreatment process and deposite time were optimized by orthogonal test, the plating morphology were analysed using Quanta 200 type scanning electron microscope. The bond between the plating and aluminum substrate were evaluated using method of water quenching and alternating bending test. The results show that good coating can be obtained on AZ91D substrate under the condition of the acid electroless Ni-P plating solution with pickling time of 40-50s, activated time of 10 min. And the good bond between the coating and AZ91D substrate was obtained.

In order to improve and simplify the process of electroless Ni-P plating on aluminum substrate, a activated solution and process were optimized by orthogonal test, the plating morphology were analysed using Quanta 200 type scanning electron microscope. The bond between the plating and aluminum substrate were evaluated using method of water quenching and alternating bending test. The results show that good coating can be obtained on aluminum substrate under the normal condition of the acid electroless Ni-P plating solution with sulfuric acid of 120g/L and nitric acid of 10-15g/L as activated solution and activated time of 20 min. And the good bond between the plating and aluminum substrate was obtained.

A dense electroless plating was obtained through the process of chemical Ni-P-γAl2O3 composite plating by ultrasonic wave. The influence of pH on deposition rate, microstructure, coating thickness and microhardness of the composite plating was studied. The deposition rates of the coating is the fastest at pH value of 7,which is 17.9×10-5g/cm2/min.The microstructure of the Ni-P-γAl2O3 coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the influence of pH value on magnesium alloy is very large.And the composite coating obtained at pH value of 7 possesses optimal integrated properties, which shows uniform and compact. The plating obtained at pH value of 7 is the thicknest.

In this study, Ni-P-SiC composite coatings were prepared by adding different amount of SiC particles into electroless Ni-P plating solution. The effects of SiC particles concentration in solution on depositing rate and composition of the coatings were investigated. The different SiC contents in coatings could be obtained by adjusting the amount of SiC particle concentration in electroless plating solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results indicate that SiC particles are dispersed in the composite coating and Ni-P alloy is mainly as a bond metal envelope with SiC particles. At the same time, the microhardness became increased and the wear resistance improved with the increasing of SiC content.

Abstract Inhibition action of 4-Chloro-N(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzilidene) benzohydrazide on the corrosion of magnesium alloy in alkaline medium was investigated by weight-loss technique, Nyquist spectra, Tafel plot, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. Tafel curves of magnesium alloy showed both anodic and cathodic process suppressed. Nyquist plots, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray analysis studies provide the confirmatory evidence for the protection of magnesium alloy by the studied inhibitor.

Currently, most of electroless nickel phosphorus plating on magnesium alloys has following disadvantages. First, it has been suffering from corrosion issues caused by acidic electroless bath. Second, in order to increase the strength of Ni-P coatings to the Mg substrate, the pretreatments for electroless Ni-P employ hydrofluoric acid (HF) and hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) which can cause pollution and health problems . In this paper, we developed HF-free and alkaline electroless Ni-P deposition process on AZ91D magnesium alloy which avoids the use of SO42- and Cl- ions in the electroless plating bath, thus leading to good adhesion and corrosion resistance of electroless Ni-P coating on magnesium alloy. XRD, SEM, EDS techniques were used to study the structure, morphology, and chemical compositions of the conversion coating and Ni-P coating, respectively. Polarization measurements indicated that the corrosion rate of Ni-P coated Mg was six times lower than that of bare Mg. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) also showed that the Ni-P coating could effectively protect Mg alloy from corrosion.

AZ91D magnesium alloy and Al metal were bonded successfully at 450 oC with load of 25 or 31 MPa by using Mg-Al eutectic alloy as the solder in atmosphere. The microstructure of the AZ91D/Al joints was characterized by SEM equipped with EDS, and the bond strength was measured through three-point bending test. It was revealed that reactive diffusion occurred obviously at the jointing part. The diffusion layers are composed of α-Mg + β-Mg17Al12, β-Mg17Al12, γ-Mg2Al3 and α-Al. The average bend strength of AZ91D/Al joints is 24 MPa with maximum value 28 MPa. To demonstrate the potential engineering application of this technology, AZ91D magnesium alloy plate was coated with Al foil and its corrosion resistance was tested. Electrochemical test results showed that the corrosion resistance of Al coated AZ91D magnesium alloy plate was greatly improved compared with the uncoated one.
