Si-P-Zr electrolyte system in PEO coating for magnesium

Work has begun on the introduction of Zr into the electrolyte of the Si-P system, improving the corrosion resistance of the protective coating. Preparing and testing several series of samples in which Si has changed; P and Zr percentages in […]

Aluminium-based intermetallic coatings on magnesium alloys

Aluminum intermetalide coatings on magnesium alloys can be used mainly as interlayers in composite coatings to improve corrosion resistance. Aluminum intermetalide coatings can be applied by various methods – from powders, alloys, etc. With these methods, coatings are mainly produced […]

Pyrolytic spraying process and other developments in PEO coating of Mg

Work is continuing on a publication cited by Scopus. Several series of samples have been prepared using the new electrolyte of the KOH-Si-P-Zr system and work has begun on the development of pore filling technology using the pyrolytic spraying method. […]

Spray painting method for PEO coated AZ31 alloy

PEO process produces a porous layer of stable oxide of the substrate metal. Typically, this porous layer serves as a highly suitable surface for application of paint. The paint seals the pores of the PEO layer and offers added protection […]

Thin, multicomponent metallic coating for corrosion protection of Magnesium alloy parts using physical vapor deposition (PVD)

Work has concluded on the development and corrosion testing of thin, metallic coatings on Mg alloy substrates obtained via combined magnetron sputtering and arc vapor deposition. The two methods are classified as physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques and are widely […]
