Abstract
Layered double hydroxide (LDH) films have received extensive attention for their unique physical barrier function and ion exchange properties, which make them promising candidates for corrosion protection of magnesium alloys. In this paper, we used the multiple polynomial regression fitting method to establish a regression equation for the electrochemical corrosion resistance with the reaction temperature (T), pH, and reaction time (t) of the Mg-Al LDH film on the AZ91D magnesium alloy. The goodness of fit, confidence, and residual analyses confirmed the high accuracy of the model equation. According to the calculation using the fmincon function, the best corrosion resistance of the prepared samples could be achieved when the parameters are T = 135 °C, pH = 12.0, and t = 15 h. Then, the experimental results showed that the corrosion current density (Icorr) of the obtained LDH film under the above conditions could be 1.07 × 10-7 A/cm2, approximately 3 orders of magnitude lower than the magnesium alloy substrate, after immersion in a 3.5 wt % NaCl solution for 180 h, the surface structure of the LDH film did not change significantly, and the Icorr was still 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of the magnesium alloy substrate. Hence, a synergistic effect equation for the reaction temperature, pH, and reaction time on the corrosion resistance of the LDH film on a magnesium alloy surface prepared by the hydrothermal method was obtained. Moreover, using this equation, we obtained an LDH film with good corrosion resistance and durability, providing theoretical guidance for optimizing the process of preparing the LDH film by the hydrothermal method in practical applications.
