This study examines the effect of nano Al2O3 additions on the corrosion, wear, and hardness properties of an electroless Ni-P-B protective coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy. In this work, nano alumina particles with a diameter of 40-50 nm and a weight percentage of 1, 2, and 3% were used in an alkaline Ni-P-B electroless bath. The surface morphology of the nano-composite coating was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the crystalline structure of the coating was examined by x-ray diffractometer (XRD). The inclusion of alumina nanoparticles, an electroless deposit produces a homogeneous coating on the AZ91D magnesium alloy surfaces. The experimental results show that incorporating 2wt% alumina nanoparticles into an electroless Ni-P-B coating increases microhardness (986.4-VHN200), specific wear rate (1.2×10-10 Kg/N-1m-1) and has the lowest average friction coefficient (0.08) when compared to other coated and uncoated samples. Electrochemical polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) tests in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution were used to investigate the corrosion resistance of various nano Al2O3 additive Ni-P-B coatings on Mg alloy surfaces. Potentiodynamic polarisation studies show that 2wt% of nano Al2O3 incorporation in Ni-P-B coating on magnesium substrates has good corrosion resistance, with the coating resulting in the lowest corrosion rate (icorr = 1.47×10-8 A cm-2) and the most positive corrosion potential (Ecorr=0.55V).
