The surface morphologies, compositions and microstructures of the pretreated films and Cu coating were characterized in detail. The results show that the activation film consists of fluoride and phosphates and Zn immersion film forms preferentially on the eutectic compound Mg12Nd phase region. A smooth, uniform and dense Cu coating is successfully obtained. Potentiodynamic polarization tests reveal that Cu coating can greatly improve the corrosion resistance of NZ30K magnesium alloy. Open circuit potential （OCP） and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） tests during long-term immersion further demonstrate that Cu coating can provide an effective protection for NZ30K magnesium alloy from corrosion up to ~60 h, due to its dense structure and a stable passive film formed. In addition, Cu coating exhibits good adhesion to substrate as confirmed by thermal shock test.展开更多

A correction of flow stress for deformation heating at a high strain rate was carried out. Based on the corrected data for deformation heating, a hyperbolic sine constitutive equation was established. The constants in the constitutive equation of the hyperbolic sine form were determined as a function of strain. The flow stresses predicted by the developed equation agree well with the experimental results, which confirms that the developed constitutive equations can be used to predict the flow stress of NZ30K alloy during hot deformation.展开更多
