Abstract
The paper presents the results of the study of electrochemical and mechanical properties of PVDF/PEO-coatings formed on magnesium alloy MA8 by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) and subsequent application of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) on the PEO-layer. The oxide coatings were formed using a 300 Hz bipolar signal with duty cycle (D) 0.50. The analysis of electrochemical data has showed a decrease of corrosion currents by 3 orders of magnitude (down to 6.0·10-9 А·сm-2) and an increase of the polarization resistance by 3 orders of magnitude (up to 5.3·106 Оhm·сm2) for the coatings formed by triple dipping (x3) of the PEO-layers into PVDF solution. Evaluation of the tribological properties of the (x3) PVDF/PEO-coatings has showed a significant increase of the wear resistance (the number of abrasion cycles resulting in complete destruction of the coating increased in 25 times) as compared to the base PEO-layer.
