Abstract
AbstractPorous magnesium oxide (MgO) ceramic layers were prepared on AZ31 magnesium alloy via microarc oxidation (MAO) and sustained hydrothermal treatment at 90°C for 18 h in alkaline zinc nitrate solution with varying Al3+ concentrations. Increasing the Al3+ concentration advanced the formation of layered double hydroxide (LDH) films on the MgO ceramic layers, enabling the sealing of micropoles and cracks via in situ growing. Electrochemical and immersion test results indicated that the MAO/hydrothermal treatment‐prepared LDH/MgO composite coatings achieved increased corrosion resistance than single MAO ceramic layers, due to the sealing effect and ion‐exchange capacity of LDHs. Furthermore, as Al3+ concentration in hydrothermal solution increased, the anticorrosion properties of the composite coatings were enhanced. Concludingly, LDH/MgO composite coatings could provide augmented long‐term anticorrosion protection for magnesium alloys compared with single MAO ceramic layers.
