Evaluation of Corrosion Resistance for ZIF-67@Co-M (M = Fe, Al, Ni) LDHs Composite Coatings Based on AZ31 Magnesium Alloy
摘要
The widespread application of magnesium (Mg) and Mg alloys is limited by their poor corrosion resistance. Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) is a common surface treatment, but the inherent defects of the MAO coating require post-treatment to ensure good corrosion protection. Therefore, various zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-67@Co-M (M = Fe, Al, Ni) layered double hydroxides (LDHs) composite coatings were fabricated on MAO-treated AZ31 Mg alloy to enhance its corrosion resistance. The surface characteristics, coating thickness, corrosion resistance and protection mechanisms of the ZCM (ZIF-67@Co-M LDHs) composite coatings were examined. The findings indicate that the ZCF (ZIF-67@Co-Fe LDHs) composite coating exhibits the lowest corrosion current density (icorr = 7.76 × 10–8 A/cm2), superior corrosion resistance, the lowest corrosion rate (HEV = 2.46 mL·cm–2) and the fastest response speed to corrosion. The synergistic integration of ZIF-67 and LDHs effectively prevents the invasion of corrosive media, enhancing both short-term and long-term corrosion resistance of AZ31 alloys. These composite coatings surpass the limitations of individual materials, providing a promising strategy for durable corrosion protection.
