Abstract
The influence of 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) on formation and properties of anodic coatings obtained by micro arc oxidation (MAO) on AZ91 magnesium alloys was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests. The results demonstrate that 8-HQ can decrease the solution conductivity, take part in the coating formation and change the coating color. By developing anodic coatings with increasing thickness, insoluble Mg(HQ)2 and small pore size, 8-HQ improves the corrosion resistance of the anodized magnesium alloys. The coating shows the best corrosion resistance in the solution of 10g/L NaOH and 18g/L Na2SiO3 with 2g/L 8-HQ.
