Influence of interlayers on corrosion resistance of diamond-like carbon coating on magnesium alloy

Diamond-like carbon coating (DLC) was deposited on AZ31 magnesium alloy by ion beam deposition technique in this study. A columnar Cr layer with a (110) preferred texture and a columnar CrN layer with a (111) preferred texture were applied as interlayers in the DLC coating/AZ31 substrate systems. The addition of these interlayers improved the adhesion between coating and substrate effectively, but did not enhance the corrosion resistance of the DLC/AZ31 systems due to the formation of galvanic cell between substrate and interlayer in the region of through-thickness defects in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. In addition, the effect of bias voltage on the corrosion resistance of CrN/Cr coatings on magnesium alloys was investigated. Although the application of bias voltage induced the coating denser, it was still difficult for CrN/Cr coating to reduce the corrosion current density of AZ31 due to the large difference between coating and substrate in galvanic series.     

Microstructures and mechanical properties of AZ91D/0Cr19Ni9 bimetal composite prepared by liquid-solid compound casting

The liquid-solid compound casting technology was used to produce the AZ91D/0Cr19Ni9 bimetal composite without and with hot dipping aluminium, respectively. The influences of Al coating on microstructures and mechanical properties of AZ91D/0Cr19Ni9 interface were investigated. The results showed that the mechanical bonding was obtained between AZ91D and bare steel 0Cr19Ni9 where a gap existed at the interface; the metallurgical bonding was formed between AZ91D and Al-coated 0Cr19Ni9, which could be divided into two different intermetallic layers: layer I was mainly composed of α-Mg+β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ eutectic structure and a small amount of MgAl₂O₄, and layer II mainly comprised of Fe₂Al₅ intermetallic compound. Furthermore, the hardness value of interface was obviously higher than that of AZ91D matrix, and the average hardness values of layers I and II were HV 158 and HV 493, respectively. The shear strength of AZ91D/Al-coated 0Cr19Ni9 interface was higher than that of AZ91D/bare 0Cr19Ni9 interface, which confirmed that Al coating could improve the adhesive strength between AZ91D and 0Cr19Ni9 during liquid-solid compound casting process.

Ni–P coating on AZ31 magnesium alloy and its crystallization

Amorphous Ni-P coating was plated on AZ31 magnesium alloy via the electroless plating technique, and the plated alloy was subsequently annealed. X-ray dif- fraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS）, and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） were used to characterize the coating. The results show that the hardness of the coating is much higher than that of bare magnesium alloy, which further increases after crystallization. The electrochemical polarization and salt spray tests show that the coating exhibits a much higher corrosion resistance than that of the bare magnesium alloy. Moreover, the crystallized coating still exhibits a much stronger corrosion resistance than that of the bare magnesium alloy, although its corrosion resistance is lower than that of the as-plated one.

材料的轻量化已经越来越成为一种趋势.镁合金因为更高的比强而作为铝合金的替代材料,在机械、电子和航空等工业有着广泛的应用前景.然而镁合金因硬度低,抗腐蚀性差而使应用受限制,因此需要进行表面处理以提高材料的使用寿命和拓宽应用领域.采用High-Velocity-Air-Fuel(高速火焰喷涂)技术在AZ31镁合金基体上制备了WC-CoCr涂层,采用XRD、SEM分别对涂层的相和显微结构进行了分析,同时研究了拉伸对偶件的弹性模量对涂层结合强度测试的影响,重点阐述了涂层的结合机理.此外,还研究了镁基高速火焰喷涂WC涂层的抗中性盐雾腐蚀性能.结果表明,采用HVAF技术,可在AZ31镁合金基体上获得致密,结合强度较高且具有良好抗腐蚀性能的WC-CoCr涂层.     

The effect of substrate composition on the electrochemical and mechanical properties of PEO coatings on Mg alloys

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a unique surface treatment technology which is based on anodic oxidation forming ceramic oxide coatings on the surface of light alloys such as Mg, Al and Ti. In the present study, PEO coatings prepared on AZ91D, AZ31B, AM60B and AM50B Mg alloys have been investigated. Surface morphology and elemental composition of coatings were determined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). SEM results showed that the coating exhibited a porous top surface layer and a subsequent dense layer with micro-pores and shrinkage cracks. Phase analysis of coatings was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD analyses indicated that PEO coatings on AZ alloys had higher amount of Periclase (MgO) followed by the presence of Spinel (MgAl₂O₄) e.g. on the AZ91D alloy compared to that on AM series alloys. In order to examine the effect of substrate composition on adhesion strength of PEO coating scratch tests were carried out. Electrochemical corrosion tests were undertaken by means of potentiodynamic polarization technique in 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature (20 ± 2 °C). Corrosion test results indicated that the corrosion rates of coated Mg alloys decreased by nearly two orders of magnitude as compared to bare Mg alloys. PEO coatings on AZ series alloys showed better corrosion resistance and higher adhesion properties than AM series alloys. In addition to the PEO processing parameters, such are mainly attributes of the compositional variations of the substrate alloys which are responsible for the formation, phase contents and structural properties of the PEO coatings.

Preparation of Ni-Cu-Mo-Cr film deposited on AZ31magnesium alloy by double glow sputtering with Cu interlayer

For improving the corrosion resistance of AZ31magnesium alloy, a double glow sputtering deposited Ni-Cu-Mo-Cr film with brush plating Cu interlayer is applied to deposit a metal amorphous/nanocrystal film on AZ31magnesium alloy. Using a brush plated Cu interlayer, the content of noble elements, such as Ni, Cr, and Mo, is higher than that of a Ni-based film without Cu interlayer. The microstructure of the Ni-Cu-Mo-Cr alloy film with the brush plated Cu interlayer confirms that the film is classified into two regions, i.e., an amorphous layer on the outmost surface and an underlying nanocrystalline layer with a grain size of less than 5 nm. The Ni-based alloy amorphous film formed on AZ31magnesium alloy was investigated using an electrochemical polarization measurement. Compared with the AZ31 magnesium alloy, the sputter-deposited Ni-based alloy film and the sputter-depostion Ni-based alloy film with a brush plated Cu interlayer formed on AZ31 magnesium alloy exhibit obvious passivation phenomena.

Corrosion protection of AZ31 magnesium alloy by silane film of partly hydrolysed BTESPT

Abstract

The corrosion protective behaviour of bis-[triethoxysilylpropyl]tetrasulphide (BTESPT) silane film formed by partly hydrolysed BTESPT on AZ31 Mg alloy was investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used for structural characterisation of the silane film. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) analysis were used for observation of surface morphology and elements analysis of the film. The corrosion behaviours of bare and the silane treated AZ31 Mg alloy in 3·5 wt-%NaCl solution were studied using electrochemical polarisation test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and immersion test. The results demonstrate that bare AZ31 Mg alloy endures severe corrosion even in NaCl water solution at pH 12, although the corrosion is lighter than that in neutral and acidic NaCl water solution, and that the BTESPT silane film can improve the corrosion protection performances of AZ31 Mg alloy and a lower corrosion rate correlated with higher pH.     

Effect of Pulse Width and Frequency of Bias DC Voltage on the Microstructure of Pure Cr Coatings by Magnetron Sputter Ion Plating

Pure Cr coatings were deposited onto the pieces of silicon wafer at different pulse width and frequency of bias voltage by magnetron sputter ion plating.The microstructure and preferential orientation of pure Cr coatings were analyzed by SEM and XRD respectively.Results show that the diffusion ability of atoms on the coating surface was improved due to the substrate temperature rise effect caused by the ion bombardment with the pulse width increased.However,the effect of frequency of bias DC voltage on the microstructure of pure Cr coatings was particularly significant.The bombardment ions action on the coating surface were more uniformly and more dispersed compared with the nucleation rate of Cr atoms and the density of pure Cr coatings both improved with the frequency increased are the main reasons that the microstructure of pure Cr coatings changed from dense,granular columnar grain outcrops to uniformity,small nano-crystalline particles.
