Abstract
To date, Mg-Li alloys still face significant challenges in practical engineering applications, with insufficient corrosion resistance persisting as a major issue and a critical limitation. Micro-arc oxidation has shown remarkable effectiveness in boosting the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and overall functionality of the Mg-Li alloy. The combination of MAO with other surface treatment methods to address the porous nature of the coating can substantially improve its corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and biocompatibility. Such progress is expected to facilitate the widespread adoption of Mg-Li alloys in sectors such as biomedicine, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and digital technologies. This paper, based on the latest research achievements in MAO of Mg-Li alloys, summarizes the critical factors impacting MAO coating performance, highlights recent progress in post-treatment methods for fabricating composite coatings, reviews the functional properties of MAO coatings for wide-ranging applications, and provides an outlook on future research directions.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
