Corrosion Protection of AZ80 and ZK60 Forged Magnesium Alloys with Micro-arc Oxidation and Composite Coating

Wrought Mg alloysWrought magnesium alloys have attracted increasing attention for automotive applications due to their homogeneous microstructure and enhanced mechanical properties compared to as-cast alloys. However, in real service conditions, Mg structural components are susceptible to early failures due to the synergistic effects of corrosion and mechanical loading, which severely hinder their high penetration in the automotive industry. …
