RT Journal Article T1 Flash-PEO as an alternative to chromate conversion coatings for corrosion protection of Mg alloy A1 Wierzbicka, Ewa A1 Vaghefinazari, B. A1 Lamaka, S.V.

A1 Rodríguez, Alicia A1 Velasco, Jorge A1 Arrabal Durán, Raúl A1 Matykina, Endzhe AB In the present work, a flash-PEO coating is developed on AZ31B alloy in a combination of silicate, phosphate, and fluoride based electrolyte in order to offer a green alternative to chromate conversion coatings. Multilevel active protection is achieved through synergetic combination of self-sealing effect of PEO coating itself and active inhibition provided by an organic inhibitor impregnated in PEO pores in a post-treatment step. The results indicate that flash-PEO coatings, loaded with organic corrosion inhibitors, can be recommended for exploitation on industrial level as an equally effective corrosion protection system alternative to CCC for paint-bearing and paint-free applications.
