Comparison of Properties between Phytic Acid and RE-phytic Conversion Coatings of Mg-Li Alloy

The properties among of phytic acid conversion coatings,RE-phytic conversion coatings,rare earth conversion coatings and chromate conversion coatings were compared.The surface micrograph and the corrosion morphology of matrix and various coatings were observed,and the polarization curve,amount of hydrogen evolution and coating binding force were tested.The infrared spectra of phytic acid solution,phytic acid conversion coatings and RE-phytic conversion coatings were compared.The results indicated that the phytic acid coating and RE-phytic acid coating have better corrosion resistance and the RE-phytic acid coating is much better.The infrared spectra indicated that the characteristic peak of phytic acid conversion coatings shift left compared to that of phytic acid.The characteristic peak of RE-phytic conversion coating is similar with that of the phytic acid conversion coating.The di-hydrogen phosphate group of phytic acid reacted with metal matrix or rare earth conversion coating to generate hydrophosphate or phosphate.Phytic acid conversion coating consists of magnesium salt,aluminum salt,zinc salt and ferrous salt.The RE-phytic coating contains cerium salt besides those salts.

镁-锂-铝合金稀土-植酸转化膜的研究

对镁-锂-铝合金表面进行了双层膜研究,即:先按照最佳稀土转化膜工艺形成一层稀土转化膜,再将稀土转化膜浸入植酸溶液中形成稀土-植酸转化膜。研究了植酸的体积分数、浸泡时间及浸泡温度对镁-锂-铝合金稀土-植酸转化膜性能的影响。
