The film was prepared by two steps： the AZ31 alloy was first immersed in an Al 2 （SO 4 ） 3 solution venting CO 2 gas to form a precursor film, and then the precursor film was treated in a Na 2 CO 3 solution dissolved with Al to obtain the dawsonite film. The surface morphology of the conversion film was observed with an environmental scanning electronic microscope. The chemical composition of the conversion film was analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry. Electrochemical and immersion tests were carried out to evaluate the protection effect of the conversion film on AZ31 alloy. There are some network-like cracks on the surface of the film. The conversion film is mainly composed of dawsonite NaAlCO 3 （OH） 2 , Al（OH） 3 and Al 5 （OH） 13 （CO 3 ）·5H 2 O, which can increase the corrosion potential and reduce the corrosion current density of the Mg substrate. After immersion tests, the film almost keeps intact, except for the localized narrow areas with several corrosion pits, while the bare material undergoes serious general corrosion. It is indicated that the dawsonite film can provide good protection to the magnesium alloy.展开更多
The formation processes of a composite ceramic coating on AM50 magnesium alloy prepared by plasma electrolytic oxidation （PEO） in a K 2 ZrF 6 electrolyte solution were studied by scanning electron microscope （SEM）...The formation processes of a composite ceramic coating on AM50 magnesium alloy prepared by plasma electrolytic oxidation （PEO） in a K 2 ZrF 6 electrolyte solution were studied by scanning electron microscope （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope （EDX）. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） tests were used to study the variation of the corrosion resistance of the coating during the PEO treatment. The results show that the coating formed on Mg alloy is mainly composed of MgO and MgF 2 when the applied voltage is lower than the sparking voltage, and zirconium oxides start to be deposited on Mg substrate after the potential exceeding the sparking voltage. The corrosion resistance of the coating increases with increasing the applied voltage.展开更多
