Abstract

In this work, a calcium silicate and calcium phosphate (CaSiO 3/CaHPO4 · 2H2O) composite coating was applied by a chemical reaction to an extruded Mg-Zn-Ca magnesium alloy. SEM observation showed that a flat and sand-like conversion coating was formed. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis indicated that the conversion coating was composed of CaHPO4 · 2H2O and a little amount of CaSiO3. The formation mechanism of CaSiO3/CaHPO 4 · 2H2O composite conversion coatings was discussed. The electrochemical polarization tests showed that the conversion coating markedly improved the biocorrosion resistance of Mg-Zn-Ca alloy in Hank's solution.
