Abstract
The reinforcement phases in magnesium matrix composites (MMCs) may negatively impact the discharge behavior and corrosion resistance of PEO coatings, posing challenges to their application. This study investigates the PEO of AZ91/Ti composites in mixed electrolytes with varying compositions. It focuses on optimizing the coating phase composition to regulate the electrical structure and discharge behavior. These improvements ultimately improve the coating structure and performance. The results demonstrate that PEO treatment in mixed electrolytes containing silicates, phosphates, and aluminates produces a dense, self-sealing coating structure, significantly reducing the self-corrosion current density by an order of magnitude. Specifically, the presence of aluminates promotes the formation of an insulating layer on Ti reinforcement phase regions and facilitates the generation of Al2TiO5. Meanwhile, phosphates enhance MgO content in the Ti reinforcement phase regions, promoting the formation of MgTiO3. The synergistic effect of low-dielectric-constant phases, Al2TiO5 and MgTiO3, reduces discharge intensity in Ti reinforcement phase areas, resulting in a dense and self-sealing pore coating structure with improved corrosion resistance.
