The optimal mechanical properties render magnesium widely used in industrial and biomedical applications. However, magnesium is highly reactive and unstable in aqueous solutions, which can be modulated to increase stability of reactive metals that include the use of alloys or by altering the surface with coatings. Plasma electrolytic oxidation is an efficient and tuneable method to apply a surface coating. By varying the plasma electrolytic oxidation parameters voltage, current density, time and (additives in the) electrolytic solution, the morphology, composition and surface energy of surface coatings are set. In the present study, we evaluated the influence on surface coatings of two solute additives, i.e. hexamethylenetetramine and mannitol, to base solutes silicate and potassium hydroxide. Results from in vitro studies in NaCl demonstrated an improvement in the corrosion resistance. In addition, coatings were obtained by a two-step anodization procedure, firstly anodizing in an electrolyte solution containing sodium fluoride and secondly in an electrolyte solution with hexamethylenetetramine and mannitol, respectively. Results showed that the first layer acts as a protective layer which improves the corrosion resistance in comparison with the samples with a single anodizing step. In conclusion, these coatings are promising candidates to be used in biomedical applications in particular because the components are non-toxic for the body and the rate of degradation of the surface coating is lower than that of pure magnesium.

In this paper, a composite micromachining process is introduced. By adjusting the surface microstructure, a composite coating with two kinds of materials with different characteristics was fabricated. Carbon steel is used as the substrate material, and laser processing is used to obtain the micro morphology on the substrate surface. nanoSiC particles were selected as one of the coating materials, and the SiC coating was added through the process of micropore induced nanoparticles self-assembly. Ni was selected as another coating material and added by electrodeposition. This processing method can be used to prepare multifunctional surface coating, combining the characteristics of different materials. This work can provide an idea to create more excellent multifunctional surfaces.

Abstract A series of fluorinated-siloxane protective surface coating materials (FPA/SiO2) were prepared with different contents of dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) and fixed content of siloxane. The properties of FPA/SiO2 protective materials were investigated by the methods of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra, UV-Vis spectrum, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The surface morphology and mineralogical analysis of the fresh and weathered stone samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The artificial ageing test, which was commonly used as a criterion for the evaluation of the protective ability of FPA/SiO2 coating material, was performed. The results indicate that when the content of DFMA is 30 wt.% and the content of SiO2 is 10 wt.%, the prepared coating material has good comprehensive performances. The artificial ageing test shows that the protective surface coating material has good compatibility with and similar appearance to stone relics. The effect of FPA/SiO2 protective coating material for protection of Jiaoshan Steles Grove (China) is noticeable and it can be widely applied to the protection of stone relics.
