Calcium phosphate biocoatings were fabricated on the surface of magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique. The properties of biocoatings related with MAO technics parameters and the electrolyte constitute. The surface morphology, constitute and friction coefficient were studied by SEM XRD and fret test machine. The results indicated that the optimum electrolyte was CaCO3-Na3PO4 contained 20g/L phosphate ions and 1.5 Ca/P ratio, and the optimum technics parameters was 350V oxidation voltage for10min, 500HZ pulse frequency and 1:10 in duty cycle. The main phase constitutes of the porous biocoatings contained were Mg, MgO, Mg3(PO4)2 and CaNaPO4. The anode polarization potential of the coating was -1.36V and enhanced about 0.29V compared with that of magnesium alloy substrate, which indicated that the biocoatings had better corrosion resistant properties. The friction coefficient of the biocoatings was 0.23 and decreased 0.15 compared with that of magnesium alloy substrate, which indicated that the biocoatings had better wear resistant properties. The biocoatings could induce hydroxyapatite to form on its surface after soaked in body fluid, which showed that the composite coatings owned good bioactivity.

Oxide films have been produced on AM60B magnesium alloy using micro-arc oxidation process in an environmentally friendly alkaline solution with and without addition of different oxides nanoparticles (TiO2, ZrO2 and Al2O3). In order to seal the oxides porosity generated in the sparking process, a silane-based top coat has been applied. The surface morphology of samples was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Scratch tests were performed for evaluating the adhesion strength of the anodic oxides. The corrosion resistance of the oxide- silane- based topcoat composite coatings was evaluated in 3.5% NaCl solution using anodic polarization tests. The anodizing in oxides nanoparticles rich solutions (ZrO2 or Al2O3), followed by a silane top coat treatment performed using OSi as precursor, is an interesting way to synthesize adherent corrosion resistant coatings on magnesium alloy AM60B.

Rare earth/calcium phosphate composite coatings were fabricated on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique. The wear properties and corrosion resistant of rare earth/ calcium phosphate composite coatings in the simulated body fluid (SBF) have been investigated and the bioactivity of the composite coatings were evaluated. The results show that the friction coefficient of the composite coatings in the SBF is only 0.15~0.18 and the anode polarization potential of the coating has been obviously enhanced about 0.18V compared with that of coatings of calcium phosphate coatings. So the composite coatings have excellent wear and corrosion resistant properties. XRD analysis indicates that the composite coatings can induce hydroxyapatite to form on its surface after soaked in SBF for 9d, which shows that the composite coatings own good bioactivity.

The composite coatings were obtained on a magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation and sol-gel technique. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to evaluate the corrosion behavior of MAO coating and composite coatings in a simulated seawater solution. The results show that corrosion behavior of the MAO coating and composite coatings are different at different immersion times. Corrosion protection of the MAO coating gradually weaken with the extension of soaking time, but corrosion protection of the composite coatings become stronger first and then weaken.

Abstract In this study, an organic coating, in combination of a micro-arc oxidation ceramic layer, was prepared on the surface of a magnesium alloy (AZ31) to achieve both functions of corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. By using carbon black as conductive particles and epoxy resin as matrix, organic coatings of various weight fractions were applied on the AZ31 surface treated by micro-arc oxidation through adjusting the contents of the conductive particles and non-conductive matrix. Electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of organic coatings were measured. The results show that the organic coatings can improve the electrical conductivity of the AZ31 material treated by micro-arc oxidation, and the conductivity changes with the ratio between the carbon black particles and non-conductive matrix. The smallest resistance value of the organic coatings reached 130Ω. Also, the organic coating can further improve the corrosion resistance of the AZ31 material. The electrochemical corrosion tests show that the corrosion potential of the AZ31 material with composite coatings was at least 0.6V higher than that of AZ31 only with micro-arc oxidation treatment.
