Abstract
Micro arc oxidation method has been developed in the field of surface protection of magnesium alloys and considered as a simple, highly effective, commercial and environmentally friendly method in industry. MAO coatings are fabricated on novel Mg-Al-Li-Zn alloy to improve the anti-corrosion performance of surface by using friendly alkaline electrolytes under a high electrical potential. The Taguchi method and optimal analysis are used to identify the effects of the three factors including current density, processing time and electrical frequency on coating’s characteristics. The results have shown that the main factor that affects coating thickness and corrosion resistance of coating is the processing time. The results obtained by optimal conditions are consistent with prediction values of Taguchi analysis. The thickness of the coating can help to improve the long-term corrosion protection of a MAO coating in corrosive environments.
