Magnesium alloys, notably AZ31B, hold promise for lightweight structural applications in the aerospace, automotive, and biomedical sectors due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratios. The broad adoption of these alloys, however, is hindered by their inherent susceptibility to corrosion, reducing durability and functional integrity in corrosive environments. This study explores anodic oxidation as a viable surface treatment to improve the corrosion resistance of the AZ31B magnesium alloy. Focusing on the impact of oxidation voltage on the oxide film’s structural and electrochemical properties, we aim to optimize these characteristics to enhance the alloy’s utility and lifespan significantly. Through detailed analysis of surface and cross-sectional morphologies, film thickness, phase composition, and corrosion resistance, we identify an optimal oxidation voltage of 17.5 V that notably improves the oxide film’s density and corrosion resistance. Through this research, we contribute to the ongoing efforts to overcome the corrosion vulnerability of magnesium alloys, thereby unlocking their full potential in contributing to more sustainable and efficient technological advancements.
