Abstract
Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) coatings were synthesized on as-cast, T4 (solution treatment), and T6 (aging treatment) AZ91 magnesium alloys using a hydrothermal method. XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analyses showed that the large β-phases in as-cast AZ91 initially promoted LDH growth via galvanic corrosion, but later compromised coating integrity. In contrast, T6 and T4 alloys, with refined microstructures, formed uniform and compact LDH coatings. Corrosion resistance was enhanced in T6 and T4 alloys, as evidenced by higher impedance from EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy), and HER (Hydrogen Evolution Reaction) tests, due to the formation of dense LDH layers.
期刊介绍:
Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Materials provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials. Chemical syntheses, chemical structures and mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties and various applications will be considered.
