Abstract
Purpose – This paper aims to study the corrosion behavior of molybdate conversion coatings on AZ31 magnesium alloy in NaCl solution. Design/methodology/approach – The open circuit potential curves, anodic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and immersion tests were used to study the corrosion behavior of molybdate conversion coatings on AZ31 magnesium alloy in NaCl solution. Findings – The molybdate conversion coatings were homogeneous and uniform. The corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy had been improved evidently through the molybdate conversion treatment. Originality/value – The molybdate conversion coatings possess favorable feasibility in practice for the corrosion protection of AZ31 magnesium alloys in NaCl solution.
