The wear and corrosion protective coatings were synthesized on AZ91 Mg alloy and Mg matrix SiCw/AZ91 composite by a microarc oxidation (MAO) technique in an alkali-silicate electrolyte solution. The phase structure of the coatings was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The tribological properties of the coatings sliding against GCr15 steel were investigated on a pin-on-disc friction and wear tester. The morphology and elemental composition of the worn coating surface were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The potentiodynamic polarizing curves were measured to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the coatings. The results showed that the application of the coatings changed evolution tendency of friction coefficients and wear mechanism. For coated Mg alloy and Mg matrix composite, both the wear resistance and corrosion resistance were improved greatly.

Rare Earth (RE) were added to industrial AZ91 magnesium alloy, so that RE-AZ91 Mg alloy was produced by the process of die casting, so as to study the effect of RE on corrosion resistance and tensile strength of Mg alloy. The experiment results show that RE addition could improve the tensile strength and corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy at a certain amount of RE. RE-AZ91 had a good heat resistance, corrosion resistance at a high temperature or in the environment applied constant voltage, with a high tensile strength.

This study is concerned with the effect of high energy ion beam irradiation on surface properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy. The study included a characterization of ion beam surface modification zone in terms of microstructure, and mechanical properties like nanohardness, wear, and corrosion resistance of the surface layer were studied in details. Nanohardness of the modification layer was improved about 2 times as that of the as-received AZ91. The corrosion resistance of the modified layer was significantly improved in NaCl solution because of refined grains. The wear resistance of the modification layer was also improved as compared to as-received AZ91.

Magnesium alloys have received a great amount of attention regarding being used in biomedical applications; however, they show high degradability, poor bioactivity, and biocompatibility. To improve these properties, surface modification and various types of coatings have been applied. In this study, an anodized AZ91 alloy was coated with a polymer matrix composite made of polycaprolactone/chitosan (PCL/Ch) with different percentages of baghdadite to improve its resistance to corrosion, bioactivity, and biocompatibility. The effects of different percentages of baghdadite (0 wt %, 1 wt %, 3 wt %, and 5 wt %) on the surface microstructure, corrosion resistance, roughness, and wettability were evaluated. The results indicated that the applied nano-polymer-ceramic coating including 3 wt % baghdadite was hydrophobic, which consequently increased the corrosion resistance and decreased the corrosion current density of the anodized AZ91 alloy. Coating with 3 wt % baghdadite increased the roughness of AZ91 from 0.329 ± 0.02 to 7.026 ± 0.31 μm. After applying the polymer-ceramic coating on the surface of anodized AZ91, the corrosion products changed into calcium–phosphate compounds instead of Mg(OH)2, which is more stable in a physiological environment.

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.

Magnesium alloy as a green material in the 21st century, because of its excellent physical and mechanical properties of metallic materials as an ideal in the automotive industry, electronic industry and aviation, aerospace and other industries[1]. However, poor corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys become an important issue hinder application of magnesium alloys[2]. So magnesium alloy corrosion problems and the current status of research paper reviews several magnesium alloy protection methods at home and abroad, and also highlighted with our latest laser shock (LSP) study of AZ91 magnesium alloy at high strain rates of corrosion resistance results.

Electroless Nickel-Phosphorus (ENi-P) coating is well-known in surface engineering techniques and is preferred in various mechanical, chemical and electronic industries view its extraordinary resistance to wear and corrosion. The paper summerizes the effect of surfactant on the mechanical properties of electroless Nickel-Phosphorus (Ni-P) alloy coating obtained from an acidic bath. The endeavor of this study is to analyse the influence of surfactant Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS) concentration on the microhardness, surface roughness and wettability of ENi-P deposit on AZ91 Mg alloy substrate. It was observed that there was significant improvement in the rate of deposition, microhardness and wettability, along with reduction in surface roughness (Ra) by addition of ALS surfactant in the chemical bath.
