Abstract
MgO coating is formed on magnesium alloy by anodic electrodeposition in 6 M KOH solution, whereas Mg(OH)2 coating is produced by anodization in 10 M KOH solution, which could be successively converted to MgO by calcination in air at 450 °C. The evolution of morphology, structure and composition of anodic film obtained on Mg alloy is investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Potentiodynamic polarization measurements show that the as-grown MgO protective coatings are very effective in improving the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy compared to bare metallic magnesium.
