Abstract

E-t curves, Tafel curves and SEM were applied to study the formation of zinc on AZ31 magnesium alloy in the process of zinc-immersion and the relationship between mixed potential (Eg) and coverage(θ). The results show that the coverage reaches 0.983 at the instantaneous contact of AZ31 magnesium alloy and the zinc-immersion solutions, and up to above 1 after 400 s immersion and the reaction reaches equilibrium. The relations between Eg and θ were derived, and the mechanism of zinc-immersion on AZ31 magnesium alloy was discussed.
