Abstract
Permanganate conversion coating, a potential alternative to chromate conversion coating, was employed on WE43-T5 Mg alloys. A continuous MnO2/Mg(OH)2 coating was observed on the Mg matrix and micrometric second-phase particles (Mg24Y5, Zr-rich particle). In contrast, no coating formed at grain boundaries, and prolonged immersion resulted in cracks within the grains. These defects were detrimental to the corrosion resistance. A second treatment in ZrF62- solution healed these defects via ZrO2 precipitation. This MnO2/ZrO2 composite coating efficiently enhanced the corrosion in 3.5 wt% NaCl, including reduced corrosion current density and corrosion area ratio, and escalated breakdown potential and total impedance.
