The corrosion resistance of Zn-Ni-silica composite coatings was rem arkably improved by the silica nanoparticles in the composite, which were disper sed in the surface of this film. The silane coupling agent formed chemical bonds with the inorganic silica particles during the silane coupling treatment on the se composite coatings. The treatment suppressed the formation of white corrosion products to the same extent as chromating, as measured in salt spray tests. It is concluded that treating Zn-Ni-silica composite coatings with silane coupling agents is a viable alternative technique to chromating.展开更多

The characteri stics of the coatings, such as structure, composition and corrosion resistance w ere investigated. The effects of this anodizing treatment on the mechanical prop erties were examined. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the structu re of the coatings is amorphous or glassy. In salt spray tests coatings with an average thickness of 10μm had an anticorrosive performance of over 1000 hours. Fatigue tests revealed that anodizing onto AZ91D magnesium alloy does not affect the fatigue strength. These results demonstrate the utility of this anodizing t reatment on magnesium alloy for application as a structural material, such as in the automotive field.展开更多
