Co-deposition of Al–Zn on AZ91D magnesium alloy in AlCl3–1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid

Optimization of pulsed electrodeposition of aluminum from AlCl3-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid

“…Room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) have many unique features such as low vapor pressure, good ionic conductivity and a wide electrochemical potential window, and they have recently been considered as media for Al electrodeposition [5][6]. One of the ionic liquids used for electrodeposition of Al is a mixture of 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride (EMIC) and aluminum chloride (AlCl 3 ), from which various metals and alloys, such as Al, Al-Zn [7], Al-MoTi [8], and even AlInSb semiconductor [9], have been electrodeposited. In this acidic ionic liquid, it has been suggested that the dominant ions of Al 2 Cl 7 -are electrochemically reduced to form metallic deposits according to the following reaction [6]:…”

Protective diffusion coatings on magnesium alloys: A review of recent developments

“…Various methods including physical vapor deposition (PVD) [52][53][54], metal spraying [55][56][57] and electrodeposition [58][59][60] can be applied to produce metallic coatings on Mg alloys. However, Fig.…”

Electroless and Electrochemical Deposition of Metallic Coatings on Magnesium Alloys Critical Literature Review

“…Several papers on Al (Chang et al, 2007(Chang et al, , 2008(Chang et al, and 2008b and Al-Zn (Pan et al, 2010) electrodeposition from EMIC (1-ethyl-methylimidazolium chloride) has been recently published. In the electrodeposition of aluminium on AZ91D, a solution of AlCl 3 -EMIC (1.5:1) was prepared and handled in a glove box under nitrogen atmosphere, in which the moisture and oxygen content were maintained below 1 ppm.…”
