Surface Modification Techniques

Magnesium alloys inherently possess poor corrosion resistance. One of the surface modification techniques to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys is Micro Arc Oxidation (MAO). Application of RZ5 magnesium alloy in aircraft industries demands assured corrosion resistance of RZ5. The quality of the ceramic oxide coating developed by MAO is influenced by various operating parameters. In this study, oxide coatings on RZ5 Magnesium alloy were developed by MAO at two different frequency levels (100Hz and 1000Hz) and at two duty cycles (10% and 90%) at a constant current density of 0.06A/cm2 for 15 minutes in a silicate based electrolyte (10g/l Na2SiO3.9H2O + 4g/l KOH). Results showed that the coating produced with the combination of higher frequency and lower duty cycle exhibits a better corrosion resistance than the coating produced with other combinations of parameters.

Micro Arc Oxidation

Magnesium alloys have recently been attracting attention as a degradable biomaterial. They have advantages including non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. To develop magnesium alloys into biodegradable medical materials, previous research has quantitatively analyzed magnesium alloy corrosion by focusing on the overall changes in the alloy. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop a bioactive material by applying a ceramic oxide coating (magnesia) on AZ31 magnesium alloy through micro-arc oxidation (MAO) process. This MAO process is conducted under pulsed bipolar constant current conditions in a Si- and P-containing electrolyte and the optimal processing parameters in corrosion protection are obtained by the Taguchi method to design a coating with good anti-corrosion performance. The negative duty cycle and treatment time are two deciding factors of the coating’s capability in corrosion protection. Microstructure characterizations are investigated by means of SEM and XRD. The simulation body-fluid solution is utilized for testing the corrosion resistance with the potentiodynamic polarization and the electrochemical impedance test data. Finally, an in vivo testing shows that the MAO-coated AZ31 has good cytocompatibility and anticorrosive properties.

The purpose of this study was to improve the cellular compatibility and corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy and to prepare a biodegradable medical material. An aminated hydroxyethyl cellulose (AHEC) coating was successfully prepared on the surface of a micro-arc oxide +AZ31 magnesium alloy by sol–gel spinning. The pores of the micro-arc oxide coating were sealed. A polarization potential test analysis showed that compared to the single micro-arc oxidation coating, the coating after sealing with AHEC significantly improved the corrosion resistance of the AZ31 magnesium alloy and reduced its degradation rate in simulated body fluid (SBF). The CCK-8 method and cell morphology experiments showed that the AHEC + MAO coating prepared on the AZ31 magnesium alloy had good cytocompatibility and bioactivity.

The effects of (NH4)2ZrF6 concentration, voltage and treating time on the corrosion resistance of ZK61M magnesium alloy micro-arc oxidation coatings were studied by orthogonal experiments. The SEM result shows that the surface roughness and porosity of MAO coatings increased with (NH4)2ZrF6 concentration, voltage and treating time as a whole, except the porosity decreased with treating time. EDS, XRD and XPS analysis show that (NH4)2ZrF6 was successfully incorporated into coatings by reactive incorporation, coatings are dominantly composed of ZrO2, MgO, MgF2 and amorphous phase Mg phosphate. Potentiodynamic polarization was used to evaluate the corrosion property of coatings. When the concentration of (NH4)2ZrF6 is 6 g/L, the voltage is 450 V, and the treating time is 15 min, the coating exhibits the best corrosion resistance which corrosion current density is four magnitudes lower than substrate attributed to the incorporation of ZrO2 and the deposition of MgF2 in the micropores.

The effects of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) on corrosion resistance of Mg-Gd-Y-Zr magnesium alloy have been studied. The Mg-Gd-Y-Zr with thicker oxide coating presented higher corrosion resistance in simulated body fluid (SBF). The corrosion rates were measured by several methods including hydrogen evolution volume measurement, weight-loss method and determination of pH as an auxiliary reference. The surfaces of specimens were observed by SEM and white light confocal microscopy before and after the corrosion. Besides the effects of MAO, the pitting resulted from breakage of oxide coating played a notable role as well. This provided a new direction towards the enhancement of corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy.

Magnesium alloys are being used as structural components in industry because of their high strength to weight ratio. But their high electrochemical activity and poor corrosion resistance limited their applications. Therefore, surface modifications are needed for protection purpose. This paper studied the anodic micro-arc oxidation and electroless Ni-P plating surface modifications on AZ80 magnesium alloy. The SEM, XRD and EDS were used to characterize the surface coating. It shows that a micro-porous MgO layer with the pores size 5 – 20 μm was fabricated on the bare magnesium alloy. The nodule Ni-P deposition could be prepared on the out layer of MgO with Ni/P atomic ratio being 1.4. The pores in MgO layer could be sealed by the following Ni-P deposition. Therefore the corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy could be further improved.

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process of Al?Zn?Si alloy in water solution containing 4 g L-1 sodium metasilicate at constant current density of 400 mA cm?2 was investigated. The species present in PEO micro-discharges and their ionization stages were identified using optical emission spectroscopy technique. The obtained PEO spectrum consists of atomic/ionic lines originating from the elements present both in the substrate (Al, Zn) and the electrolyte (Na, O, H). Apart from atomic and ionic lines, AlO band at 484.2 nm was also detected. Plasma electron number density diagnostics was performed from the H? line shape. The electron temperature of 4000?400 K was estimated by measuring the relative line intensities of zinc atomic lines at 481.05 and 636.23 nm. In addition, surface morphology, chemical and phase composition of oxide coatings were investigated by SEM-EDS and XRD. Oxide coating morphology is strongly dependent of PEO time. The elemental components of PEO coatings are Al, Zn, O and Si. The oxide coatings are partly crystallized and mainly composed of gamma phase of Al2O3.

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.
