Abstract

Mg alloys have been developed for automobile and mobile equipments because of their low density of $1.7g/cm^3$. One of the main problems of Mg alloys is their poor corrosion resistance which has limited their wide applications. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method is one of the promising surface treatment methods for Mg alloys. In this presentation, experimental data about the effects of solution composition and form of current are presented and discussed in view of dielectric breakdown and reformation of PEO films The role of various anions of phosphate, silicate, fluoride, carbonate and hydroxide ions is discussed in view of film breakdown and reformation of PEO films.
