Effect of Adding SiO_2-Al_2O_3 Sol into Anodizing Bath on Corrosion Resistance of Oxidation Film on Magnesium Alloy

摘要

Due to the widely use in automobile and construction field, AZ91D magnesium alloy need to be protected more effectively for its high chemical activity. In this paper, three kinds of films were formed on magnesium alloy. The first kind of film, named as anodic oxidation film, was prepared by anodic oxidation in the alkaline solution. The processes for preparing the second kind of film, named as multiple film, involved coating sol-gel on the samples and heat-treating before anodic oxidation. The third kind of film was prepared by anodic oxidation in the alkaline oxidation solution containning 5% (vol) SiO_2-Al_2O_3 sol, named as modified oxidation film. The corrosion resistance of the three different films was investigated. The results showed that the modified oxidation film had the highest corrosion resistance due to the largest thickness and most dense surface morphology. Sol was discussed to react during the film forming process, which leaded to the difference between modified oxidation film and anodic oxidation film.
