Abstract
The conversion film is essential before electrophoresis (EP) for adhesion strength and corrosion resistance. In this study, the conventional phosphate conversion film (P film) was modified by a short one-step method to prepare a Ce-modification conversion film (P/Ce film) on AZ31 Mg alloy. The modification process of the conversion film was revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) combined with thermodynamic deposition phase diagrams. The corrosion resistance and adhesion strength were evaluated by electrochemical tests and pull-off tests. The results show that Mn ions in the P film are replaced in situ by Ce ions in a suitable pH range. The P/Ce film is dense and free of cracks, with a uniform distribution of Ce elements, and also exhibits enhanced corrosion resistance and self-healing performance. Furthermore, the adhesion strength of the P/Ce-EP coating is improved by 39.29 %, and the coating resistance (Rf) is enhanced by approximately one order of magnitude compared to the P-EP coatings.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
