Corrosion products were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD). Al/SiC composite coatings in the as-sprayed state revealed high level of porosity with poor bonding at the Al/SiC and coating/substrate interfaces, which facilitated degradation of the magnesium substrates by a mechanism of galvanic corrosion. Cold-pressing post-treatment produced more compact coatings with improved corrosion performance in 3.5 wt.% NaCl compared with as-sprayed coatings.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Corrosion behaviour of Mg/Al alloys with composite coatingsjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2008.10.030https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0257897208010062open access66620.1Magnesium alloysAl/SiC coatingsCorrosionCompositesThermal sprayingQuímicaMateriales3303 Ingeniería y Tecnología Químicas3312 Tecnología de Materiales
