Abstract
The synthesis of oxides in a low-temperature electrolytic plasma allows to cover surfaces of magnesium and its alloys with multifunctional protective oxide-ceramic coatings. In order to improve the layer properties, thick layers have been produced, and the influence on layer structure and properties with a main focus on corrosion behaviour was studied. The commercial hard ceramic coatings, e.g., those offered by Keronite or AHC, generally have a thickness of 20â30 μm, while in the present study thicknesses of up to 120 μm were produced. The influence of the process conditions on the microstructure and properties will be discussed.
