RT Journal Article T1 Ca-based sealing of plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings on AZ91 Mg alloy A1 Lu, Xiaopeng A1 Ma, Jirui A1 Mohedano Sánchez, Marta A1 Pillado Ríos, Borja A1 Arrabal Durán, Raúl A1 Qian, Kun A1 Li, Yan A1 Zhang, Tao A1 Wang, Fuhui AB Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings on AZ91 Mg alloy were sealed in calcium nitrate solutions at different pH values (3, 4 and 5). Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was added to study the effect of SDS on the corrosion resistance of the sealed coatings. The microstructure, chemical composition and corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated by means of SEM, XPS, XRD and electrochemical corrosion tests. The corrosion performance of the coatings was improved due to precipitation of Ca-containing precipitate. Low pH and SDS addition enhanced hydroxyapatite precipitation and produced hydrophobic coatings with worse paint adhesion but better corrosion resistance.
