Abstract: Immersion and electrochemical tests have been applied to study corrosion protection of AZ91D Mg alloy coating with chrome-free chemical conversion (CCC) coat in 5wt% NaCl solution. The immersions tests include weight-loss measurements after full or partial immersion with whole coating and full immersion with damaged coating. The electrochemical tests include electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization curves measurement. The results of immersion and electrochemical tests show that chrome-free chemical conversion (CCC) surface treatment can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of AZ91D Mg alloy in 5% NaCl solution, and that the corrosion protection effect of CCC coating is not sensitive to pores or cracks. The equivalent circuit models are fitted from Nyquist plots for the uncoated specimens and the CCC-coated specimens. The charge transfer resistance, Rct, increases from about 1.669 Ω cm2 for the uncoated alloy to about 210 Ω cm2 after the alloy is coated with CCC coating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
