Abstract
Abstract Dense alumina ceramic coatings of 7 μm thickness were fabricated on 2024 aluminium alloy by microarc oxidation (MAO). The corrosion behaviour of the MAO coated alloys was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarisation and EIS measurements. The results show that the corrosion process of the coated alloy can be divided into three stages: (1) the initial stage (the first 2–6 h of immersion): penetration of corrosion medium into the aluminium alloy was inhibited by coating; (2) the second stage (after 24 h of immersion), corrosion medium penetrated to attack the interface between the substrate and the coating; (3) the final stage (after about 96 h): corrosion process was controlled by the diffusion of corrosion products.
