Chromium-free conversion coatings were generated to replace chromate chemical process by electrolysis treatment LY12 aluminum alloy in zirconate solution. Film thickness, dropping test, the adhesion between aluminum and paint film were tested for single-factor experiments and orthogonal to seek better electrolysis process. The paint adhesion is the first grade for electrochemical conversion solution containing complexing agents, or it is the second grade without complexing agents. When DNS complexing agent is 2 ~ 5g/L, film corrosion resistance rises with the increasing content of complexing agent. If voltage is too low, corrosion resistance of conversion coating is poor; voltage is too high, the films form powders. Better formulations for zirconate conversion coating are: 5g/L DNS complexing agent, 10V voltage, treatment temperature is 40°C. Electrochemical conversion coating is thinner than chemical conversion, but the corrosion resistance is better because the electrochemical conversion coatings are smoother and compacter than the chemical conversion coating. The paint films on electrochemical conversion coating are smoother than the chemical one. Two kinds of conversion coatings have very good adhesion with paint film up to the first level. Electrochemical conversion coatings thickness is 2.5 μm, bubble time of NaOH-glycerine solution on them is up to 92s.

In order to develop an environment-benignly chemical conversion process to substitute the toxic hexavalent chromium treatment on Al alloy surface, a new surface treatment technology based on rare-earth element, which is to form chemical conversion coating on 6063 Al alloy was presented. In this process, Ce(NO3)3 was adopted in the chrome-free preparing solution, and KMnO4 was used as oxidant to accelerate the coating formation on 6063 Al alloy. Furthermore, an L16(43) orthogonal experiment was carried out to examine the effect of Ce(NO3)3, KMnO4 and solution temperature on the coating growth on 6063 Al alloy. Accelerants of SrCl2 and NH4VO3 were added to the preparing solution to improve the coating performance. XRD, SEM and EDS were used to analyse the coating surface structure, morphology and composition. It was found that a good anti-corrosion coating which is mainly composed of the elements of Al, Ce, O, Mn, Mg could be formed in the optimal preparing solution of 5g/L Ce(NO3)3 , 4g/L KMnO4, 1.4g/L SrCl2 at the temperature of 20°C.

The effect of temperature on the corrosion resistance of layered double hydroxide (LDH) conversion coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloy, based on a closed-cycle system, was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffractometry (GAXRD) were used to study the surface morphology, chemical composition, and phase composition of the conversion coating. The corrosion resistance of the LDH conversion coating was determined through electropotentiometric polarisation curve and hydrogen evolution and immersion tests. The results showed that the conversion coating has the highest density and a more uniform, complete, and effective corrosion resistance at 50 °C. The chemical composition of the LDH conversion coating mainly comprises C, O, Mg, and Al, and the main phase is Mg6Al2(OH)16CO3·4H2O.
