Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and a system for fabricating oxide coatings on magnesium alloys are provided to ensure the high corrosion resistance since environment-friendly electrolyte and electrochemical plasma oxidation coating process is applied and ceramic oxide coating is formed on the surface of magnesium alloy. CONSTITUTION: A method for fabricating oxide coatings on magnesium alloys is as follows. The foreign material and the corroded oxide layer of the surface of magnesium alloy are removed. After the magnesium alloy is dipped in alkali electrolyte(30), AC(Alternating Current) pulse is applied and a magnesium oxide film is formed on the surface of the magnesium alloy. The magnesium alloy with the magnesium oxide film is washed and dried by the distilled water.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An oxide film forming method of magnesium alloy and a member with oxide film manufactured from the same are provided to improve productivity by increasing a film formation speed. CONSTITUTION: An oxide film forming method of magnesium alloy comprises next steps. The foreign material and the corroded oxide layer are eliminated from the magnesium alloy surface. The alternating-current pulse is applied to magnesium after magnesium is dipped in the green electrolyte. The green electrolyte comprises ammonium fluoride, potassium fluoride, and sodium phosphate. The green electrolyte more includes potassium hydroxide or NaOH and glycerol. The magnesium oxide film is formed on the magnesium alloy surface. The alternating-current pulse is applied to the voltage of 400~600V. Magnesium, in which the magnesium oxide film is formed, is washed with the distilled water and dried.
