The application of superhydrophobic materials has been handicapped by complex processes and poor environmental friendliness. Magnesium alloys are widely used in daily production due to their low density and good casting properties. A facile and environmentally friendly method was proposed to prepare a superhydrophobic layer with coral-like microstructure on the surface of AZ91D magnesium alloy by high temperature heating. The prepared superhydrophobic surface has a contact angle of 159.1° and a rolling angle of 4.8°. The corrosion current of superhydrophobic surface has been reduced by about two orders of magnitude relative to the magnesium alloy substrate and its inhibition efficiency is 96.94%, which demonstrates its great corrosion resistance. In addition, the superhydrophobic surface has great thermal stability. When the temperature rises to 190 °C, the contact is still above 150°. Excellent self-cleaning and advantages in preparation efficiency, environmental protection and cost-effectiveness will boost its good application prospects.

The corrosion resistance of a 1~2mm thick AZ91D magnesium alloy die-casting coated with epoxy varnish after phosphatizing was tested. Zinc phosphating solution was used. In the experiment, uniform paint was obtained by dipping method. Scratch test showed that the adhesion force between the coating and matrix is excellent. Within the test range the optimal phosphating temperature and time are 50°C and 1 min tested by dynamic potential scanning method. With the organic coating the corrosion current density decreased 3 orders of magnitude, the polarization resistance increased 3 orders of magnitude. The coated specimens were immersed in10% H2SO4, 10% NaOH and acetone for 10 days, respectively. The results showed that blistering did not occur on the paint films. This work illustrated that the simple zinc phosphating process combined with simple organic coating can meet the corrosion resistance requirements of thin-wall die casting magnesium components that require higher quality appearance.
