Development of Non Chromate Conversion Coatings on AZ31 Alloy: Effect of Nickel Overcoat

Article Preview

Abstract:

Permanganate-based conversion coating, using nitric acid as an oxidative additive has been performed and analysis shows the reduction products of permanganate mainly MnO2, and oxidation products of magnesium (MgO and Mg(OH)2). Stannates-based coating has also been obtained in high basic medium using acetate- pyrophosphate additives. Isolated grains formed having a quasi-spherical form which have been identified as mixed magnesium and tin oxides. Particles very rich in tin are observed and discussed in terms of standard reduction potentials E0red.
