Improving Corrosion Resistance of Magnesium Alloy for Aerospace Applications

Abstract

Magnesium alloys are promising lightweight structural materials for both automotive and aerospace applications. Recently, magnesium (Mg) alloys have been attracted as biodegradable implants. However, one major drawback preventing the wide application is their inadequate corrosion performance. Modifying material surfaces with a coating layer is an effective means to control degradation, and biocompatibility. In this work aimed to improve the corrosion resistance on AZ31B Magnesium alloy by chromium electroplating process.
