“…This technique was found to be applicable to deposit ceramic coatings on Mg and its alloys with simultaneous corrosion resistance Liu et al, 2014;Shi et al, 2009Shi et al, , 2011Sreekanth & Rameshbabu, 2012;Wu et al, 2010;Zhang, Dai, et al, 2012;Zhang, Dai, et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2007). It combines an electrochemical oxidation with a high-voltage spark treatment performed in aqueous electrolytic baths, which also contain modifying elements in the form of dissolved salts (e.g., silicates, borates) to be incorporated into the resulting coatings.…”
