The way of protective coatings formation on MA8 magnesium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in the electrolyte containing composite zirconia-silica nanoparticles has been developed. It is shown that the coatings, which contain nanoparticles, have a significant advantage in comparison with the surface layers obtained without their use.

Extensive efforts devoted in recent years to booming structural applications of lightweight magnesium alloys are usually undermined by their insufficient surface properties. Surface modification is therefore necessarily required in most cases for enhanced surface integrity of the alloys. Here, we report construction of aluminum-silica protective layers by cold spray on AZ31 magnesium alloys, and the effect of the silica additives on microstructure and mechanical properties of the coatings was examined. The ceramic particles were dispersed evenly in the coatings, and increased silica content gives rise to enhanced adhesion, antiwear performances, and microhardness of the coatings. The even distribution of silica in the coatings altered the wear regimes from adhesive to abrasive wear. The cold spray fabrication of the aluminum-silica protective coatings would facilitate structural applications of the magnesium alloys.

By the method of microarc oxidation for different types of electrolytes (which include KOH, Na2SiO3, Н2О2, NaOH, NaAlO2, Na5P3O10, NaF) and electrolysis conditions, multifunctional ceramic coatings on a magnesium alloy were obtained. The phase composition of the coating includes magnesium oxide (MgO), spinel MgAl2O4, Mg2SiO4 and Мg3(РО4)2 compounds. The phase composition of the coatings is determined by the composition of the electrolyte. The obtained MAO coatings provide high hardness, which is 1500 to 7300 MPa, as well as high corrosion resistance. The results obtained make it possible to recommend MAO coatings on magnesium alloys both as an external (functional) layer and for the formation of an underlayer for the subsequent application of protective coatings (varnishes, polymers, polytetrafluoroethylene, in particular).

High specific strength characteristics make magnesium alloys widely demanded in many industrial applications such as aviation, astronautics, military, automotive, bio-medicine, energy, etc. However, the high chemical reactivity of magnesium alloys significantly limits their applicability in aggressive environments. Therefore, the development of effective technology for corrosion protection is an urgent task to ensure the use of magnesium-containing structures in various fields of application. The present paper is aimed to provide a short review of recent achievements in corrosion protection of magnesium alloys, both surface treatments and coatings, with particular focus on Mg-Al-Mn-Ce, Mg-Al-Zn-Mn and Mg-Zn-Zr alloys, because of their wide application in the transport industry. Recent progress was made during the last decade in the development of protective coatings (metals, ceramics, organic/polymer, both single layers and multilayer systems) fabricated by different deposition techniques such as anodization, physical vapour deposition, laser processes and plasma electrolytic oxidation.

Due to the low density and high specific strength, magnesium and its alloys have been extensively used in the automobile and aerospace applications, where the weight reduction is critical. However, they are highly prone to corrosion, which has greatly limited their application in the automotive and aerospace industries. This paper briefly reviews the technologies for improving the corrosion and wear resistance of magnesium alloys and finds that the widespread application of magnesium alloys is still limited by the lack of proper protective coatings. Therefore, there is still a need to explore new materials and methods for the effective protection of magnesium and its alloys.
