Abstract :

[en] In the present study, Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (Mg-Al/LDH) was synthesized on the surface of AZ31 Mg alloy substrate via in-situ hydrothermal treatment. Synthesis parameters were changed to determine their effect on the lateral size of LDH. For this purpose, etching in nitric acid and anodizing in sodium hydroxide solution were performed as surface pretreatments. Moreover, the influence of LDH solution pH (10 and 11) on the lateral size of LDH coating was investigated. Morphology, chemical composition, and crystalline structure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The corrosion resistance of the coatings was investigated by H2 measurements, salt spray, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Moreover, the epoxy coating was applied on the best anti-corrosive LDH sample for assessing the compatibility and effectiveness of LDH on the corrosion properties of the substrate with the epoxy layer. At pH = 11, the lateral size of LDH was smaller than samples at pH = 10. In addition, small-sized LDH, as well as LDH/epoxy coating, revealed enhanced corrosion protection.
