Optimization of AZ31B Magnesium Alloy Anodizing Process in NaOH-Na2SiO3-Na2B4O7 Environmental-Friendly Electrolyte

Abstract: The optimization of NaOH-Na2SiO3-Na2B4O7 electrolyte for the plasma electrolytic oxidation of AZ31B magnesium alloy was investigated through orthogonal tests. The properties of the anodized films were evaluated by film thickness, roughness measurements, salt spray tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and potentiodynamic polarization tests, respectively. The orthogonal tests revealed that the optimal formulation of the electrolyte comprised NaOH 45 g/L, Na2SiO3 50 g/L, and Na2B4O7 … Show more

“…Anodization is a common protective method for enhancing the corrosion properties of magnesium alloys. The process is based on the electrolytic anodic oxidation of the metallic surface, converting it into an oxide layer in an electrolyte with controlled composition [18][19][20]. Species from the electrolyte are incorporated into the anodized layer, providing it with functional properties [21,22].…”

“…Corrosion protection methods are, therefore, a must-attend issue for expanding the engineering applications of magnesium and its alloys. For practical purposes, anodization has been widely employed to form protective oxide layers on these materials [8][9][10] . Typically, alkaline electrolytes are employed to produce stable oxide growth during the electrolytic treatment of the magnesium substrate 11,12 .…”
