Metal phosphate based protective conversion coating for Mg alloys CHONG KE 10.4225/03/5907e8a6e4b42 https://bridges.monash.edu/articles/thesis/Metal_phosphate_based_protective_conversion_coating_for_Mg_alloys/4928915 In this project, a strontium phosphate (SrP) conversion coating process with pretreatment steps to remove the surface heterogeneity and a ‘steam coating’ process, which requires no pretreatment steps have been studied systematically. Both techniques have been proved to provide satisfactory protection against corrosion to Mg substrates. Apart from the techniques developed in this project, the formation mechanisms of different coatings were studied, which are critical for the future development of protective coatings on Mg alloys.. 2017-05-02 02:02:12 Corrosion TEM Coating PDP Magnesium SEM Metals and Alloy Materials
