Influence of Preparation Parameters on Thermal Control and Corrosion Behavior of ZnO Nanoparticle-Incorporated MAO Coatings on Magnesium Alloy

In this study, ZnO nanoparticle-incorporated micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings were prepared on AZ31 magnesium alloy in a sodium silicate-based electrolyte. The effects of applied current density (3–6 A·dm−2), oxidation time (3–15 min), ZnO concentration (4–10 g·L−1), pulse frequency (400–700 Hz), and duty cycle (10–4...
