Effect of KOH Concentration on the Microstructure and Electrochemical Properties of MAO-Coated Mg Alloy AZ31B

Abstract: In this study, the effect of KOH concentration on the electrochemical properties of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coated Mg alloy AZ31B has been investigated. Also, the surface morphology and chemical composition of the MAO coatings have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. In MAO process, an increase in the concentration of KOH as a result of increase in the electrolyte electrical conductivity leads to a reduction in sparking which in turn improves the quality and the behavior… Show more

“…With the increase in processing time, even stronger micro discharges and more intensive gas liberation were observed, but the number of sparks decreased, and the sparks became more widely spaced. This result is consistent with a previous study in the literature [16]. Journal of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering However, the discharge characteristics that we observed without electrolyte cooling were notably different from the above discussion.…”

“…In acid electrolytes such as oxalic acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid, the rate of anodic film generation is substantially faster than the rate of dissolution for Ti6Al4V. The rate of anodic film generation for MgAZ31B, however, varies with the acid and base solutions, such as phosphoric acid (PhoA) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution (Fattah & Joni, 2015;Sul et al, 2001). The bare metal surface is layered with an anodic oxide surface that is corrosion-resistive, decorative, hard, and durable.…”

“…In addition, Mg has indicated great biocompatibility that has made it as an attractive metal used in medical implants [6]. Nevertheless, Mg and its alloys have a low corrosion resistance which is a critical disadvantage and limits many application domains when compared to other structural materials, such as steels, Al, and Ti alloys [7][8][9][10][11].…”
