Alcohol used as an additive could act not only as a leveler for the formation of compact film but also as an enhancer for film qualities, such as corrosion resistance and withstand voltage.

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) has been used in the past as a useful surface treatment technique to improve the anticorrosion properties of Mg alloys by forming protective layer. Coatings were prepared on AZ31 magnesium alloy in phosphate electrolyte with the addition of TiO2nanoparticles using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). This present work focuses on developing a TiO2functional coating to create a novel electrophotocatalyst while observing the surface morphology, structure, composition, and corrosion resistance of the PEO coating. Microstructural characterization of the coating was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) followed by image analysis and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX). The corrosion resistance of the PEO treated samples was evaluated with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and DC polarization tests in 3.5 wt.% NaCl. The XRD pattern shows that the components of the oxide film include Mg from the substrate as well as MgO and Mg2TiO4due to the TiO2nanoparticle addition. The results show that the PEO coating with TiO2nanoparticles did improve the corrosion resistance when compared to the AZ31 substrate alloy.

Abstract Magnesium and its alloys are extensively used in the defence, aerospace and automotive industries, owing to their excellent mechanical properties. But there is a requirement of corrosion prevention treatment before using it for applications, since the corrosion resistance of Mg alloy is poor. In this work, a study on the mechanical properties of friction stir welded ZE41 rare earth magnesium alloy thick plates of 15mm and 25mm, was carried out. A metallographic examination and mechanical tests were conducted on both the welds. Furthermore, Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO), a surface conversion treatment was carried out on both the base material as well as on the friction stir butt joints. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analysis were carried out on all the samples, with and without coating. The coated and uncoated samples were assessed by potentiodynamic polarisation (PDP) tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to study the electrochemical corrosion behaviour. An outer porous layer and an inner dense layer, have been identified from the SEM images. From the corrosion tests results it was revealed that there was an improvement in the corrosion resistance of both the base metal as well as the weldments by the PEO coating process.
