“…Still, the poor corrosion resistance of magnesium does not meet the demands for numerous applications. Hence, surface modification and application of coatings are receiving increased attention [25,26,32,35,38,40]. As summarized in a previous review on degradable coatings on magnesium by Hornberger et al [25], microarc oxidation (MAO), ion implantation, anodisation, electro-deposition, phosphating treatment, physical vapor deposition, electrophoretic deposition and polymer coatings have been in focus of research in recent times.…”
