RT Journal Article T1 Corrosion protection of Mg/Al alloys by thermal sprayed aluminium coatings A1 Pardo Gutiérrez Del Cid, Ángel A1 Casajús, P. A1 Mohedano Sánchez, Marta A1 Coy, A.E. A1 Viejo, F. A1 Torres, B. A1 Matykina, Endzhe AB The protective features of thermal sprayed Al-coatings applied on AZ31, AZ80 and AZ91D magnesium/aluminium alloys were evaluated in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution by electrochemical and gravimetric measurements. The changes in the morphology and corrosion behaviour of the Al-coatings induced by a cold-pressing post-treatment were also examined. The specimens were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and low-angle X-ray diffraction. The as-sprayed Al-coatings revealed a high degree of porosity and poor corrosion protection, which resulted in galvanic acceleration of the corrosion of the magnesium substrates. The application of a cold-pressing post-treatment produced more compact Al-coatings with better bonding at the substrate/coating interface and higher corrosion resistance regardless of the nature of the magnesium alloy.
