“…The main influence of the poor corrosion resistance is caused by the synergistic effect of the standard negative potential of Mg −2.36 V with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), the mixture of the natural properties of Mg, the presence of impurities (Fe, Cu, and Ni), and the quasi-protective passive surface film consisting of MgO or Mg(OH) 2 , which provides protection against alkaline pH environments [ 3 , 4 ]. To improve this poor corrosion resistance, many coating techniques were applied, including chemical conversion coatings, anodizing, electroplating, electro-less plating, organic coatings, and fluoride-based coatings [ 5 , 6 ].…”
