Electron microscopic studies of anodic oxide films on the AZ91HP alloy

Abstract: A Mg-9wt.Al-1wt.%Zn-alloy was anodized up to 90 V with constant current/constant voltage in an electrolyte which contained the compounds of the HAE-process (KOH, Al(OH)3, KF, Na3PO4 and KMnO4). Electron microscopic examinations revealed a highly porous and irregular film structure. The distribution of the elements in the film was measured with energy dispersive spectrometry on specimens prepared in cross section for the transmission electron microscope. The main characteristic found was a fluoride-enriched zon… Show more

“…The anodized layers were slightly porous (Fig. 4a), which is typical of coatings on Mg alloys [2][3][4][5][6]21]. Taking the density of the anodized coating to be 80% of the average density of 2.9 g/cm 3 (based on the densities and mole fractions of the four main constituents), the average thickness of an anodized layer was estimated to be 12 m, which is consistent with previous studies [6,7] and cross-sectional SEM (Fig.…”

“…Dose-dependent depths ranged from 6 to 68 m. Examination of the data in Table 2 suggests that erosion rates will be within experimental error identical for depths of removal greater than ≈80 m. Chemical-profile data for Mg alloys anodized near room temperature suggests that the depth of internal oxidation from anodizing should be small [21], which is consistent with the data reported here.…”

“…In the latter case the solubility of Mg 2+ is reduced by ethanol. In the case of fluoride and stannate anodic films showed enrichment of fluorine [6] and tin [7], respectively, close to the metal-film interface. With the addition of Al(OH) 3 neither the critical current density nor the potential for secondary passivation was lowered (Table 1).…”

“…They claimed that aluminate combined with magnesium oxide was beneficial to the corrosion resistance of the anodized coatings on Mg-Al alloy (30)(31)(32). Barbosa studied anodic oxide films on the AZ91HP alloy in the type HAE-electrolyte and found that fluorine and phosphorus were prevailing at the metal/oxide interface (33). Oho and Osami prepared the films formed on magnesium in acidic, fluoride-containing electrolyte (type DOW17).…”
