Abstract

Anodic films were prepared on the AZ31 magnesium alloy in alkaline borate solution with or without addition of titania sol under the constant potential of 50 V (dc) for 10 min at room temperature. The morphology of the anodic films was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The corrosion resistance of the anodic films was evaluated in 3.5% NaCl solution using fast anti-acid test, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The anodic film formed in borate solution with addition of 4% titania sol has superior uniform surface and higher corrosion resistance than in other conditions.
