Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of surface treatment of metal materials, and particularly to a self-sealing and self-healing corrosion-resistant coating for magnesium alloys and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the lightest metal structural material, magnesium alloys have a density that is only 2 / 3 of aluminum and 1 / 4 of steel, and have characteristics such as high specific strength and excellent vibration damping performance, showing great application potential in fields such as aerospace and automotive lightweighting. However, the standard electrode potential of magnesium is extremely low (-2.37V), and its corrosion product Mg(OH) 2 film is loose and porous, and cannot effectively block the long-term erosion of corrosive media. Especially in magnesium alloys containing high-potential second phases (such as Mg 17 Al 12 , Al-Mn phase), the problem of galvanic corrosion is more prominent, severely limiting its engineering applications in harsh environments.

[0003] Currently, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technology is widely used for the surface protection of magnesium alloys, and the corrosion resistance is significantly improved by in-situ generating a ceramic coating. To further solve the pore defects of the micro-arc oxidation coating, two types of improvement schemes have been proposed in the prior art: First, the self-sealing hole technology: doping corrosion-resistant nanoparticles (such as ZnO, TiO 2 ) in the electrolyte, using the particles to fill the pores and reduce the risk of corrosive medium penetration; Second, the self-healing technology: by doping Ce-containing salts (such as cerium acetate), releasing Ce 3+ / Ce 4+ ions during the corrosion process, and reacting with the corrosion products to form a dense protective film (such as Ce(OH) 3 ), delaying the corrosion of the substrate.

[0004] However, there are still technical defects in the prior art. For example: in the self-sealing hole technology, the nanoparticles can only temporarily fill the pores, and the gaps between the particles will still cause the penetration of corrosive media during long-term service, and the mechanical stability of the nanostructure is insufficient; in the self-healing technology, although the cerium-containing coating can achieve dynamic repair, it cannot solve the problem of rapid penetration of corrosive media by the initial pore defects; the traditional scheme requires separate implementation of the sealing and self-healing treatments for the preparation of the self-sealing hole and self-healing coatings, with a cumbersome process and high cost, making it difficult to meet the industrial requirements. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a preparation method for a composite coating with both self-sealing hole and self-healing functions to comprehensively improve the long-term corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys.

[0029] Example 1 The AZ31B magnesium alloy was cut into samples of 50 mm × 25 mm × 1 mm. The surface of the aluminum alloy samples was polished with 1500-mesh sandpaper, and then ultrasonically cleaned with deionized water, anhydrous ethanol, and acetone for 10 minutes in sequence to obtain a magnesium alloy substrate. Sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium hydroxide were added to deionized water to prepare an alkaline electrolyte with a concentration of 20 g·L -1 for sodium hexametaphosphate and 3 g·L -1 for sodium hydroxide. The magnesium alloy substrate was placed in the alkaline electrolyte. Using the magnesium alloy substrate as the anode and a stainless-steel container as the cathode, a 20-kW alternating current power supply micro-arc oxidation device was used to perform micro-arc oxidation treatment on the surface of the magnesium alloy substrate in a constant-current mode, controlling the current density at 5.5 A·dm -2 , the frequency at 200 Hz, the duty cycle at 12%, and the discharge time at 12 minutes to form a dielectric layer, obtaining a magnesium alloy substrate with a dielectric layer.

[0032] The following combines Figures 1 to 6 to describe the self-sealing and self-healing corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy coating of the present invention and its preparation method.

[0033] Figure 1 is the SEM image of the self-sealing and self-healing corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy coating provided in Example 1 of the present invention.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, for the self-sealing and self-healing corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy coating provided in Example 1 of the present invention, it can be seen from the low magnification of the surface that holes of different sizes are filled with substances. By magnifying the observation, it is found that the filling substances are mainly the melt generated during the discharge process, including the nanoparticles in-situ generated in the solution, and they are bonded together under the high-temperature environment of local discharge, and the hole-sealing effect is more significant.

[0035] Figure 2 is the element distribution map of the self-sealing and self-healing corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy coating provided in Example 1 of the present invention.

[0036] As Figure 2 shown, according to the elemental analysis of the hole-filling substances on the surface, it can be seen that Ce element is distributed in the coating, indicating the in-situ generation of cerium phosphate. In addition, Ce element is also enriched in the holes. This is the molten mixture of cerium phosphate and magnesium oxide generated by the specific electrolyte under the discharge state. It can be seen that the hole-sealing effect of the coating is significant. And the multivalent state of Ce element has a corrosion self-healing effect. When there is a corrosive medium in the holes of the coating, cerium phosphate will release Ce 3+ and generate Ce(OH) 3 , and play the self-healing performance.

[0037] Figure 3 is the cross-sectional SEM image of the self-sealing and self-healing corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy coating provided in Example 1 of the present invention.

[0038] As Figure 3As shown, the cross-sectional picture of the near-surface of the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention clearly shows that the open holes generated by discharge breakdown are filled with the molten mixture, but the small closed air holes inside are not filled. This is caused by the gas generated by the plasma reaction during the coating growth process. Since this area has not undergone a violent discharge breakdown reaction, the holes are small and closed, so the presence or absence of fillers does not affect the corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0039] Figure 4 It is the cross-sectional element distribution diagram of the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0040] As Figure 4 shown, by performing EDS element analysis on the cross-section of the near-surface of the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, it can be seen that the Ce element representing the filler is enriched in the holes, and there are also Mg, O, and P elements present at the same time. This indicates that the filler inside the holes is mainly a mixture containing cerium phosphate.

[0041] Figure 5 It is the comparison diagram of the electrochemical test results of the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention and the magnesium alloy substrate.

[0042] As Figure 5 shown, by comparing with the electrochemical results of the magnesium alloy substrate, it can be known that the corrosion potential of the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention is more positive and the corrosion current density is smaller, indicating that the resistance of the solution to the corrosion of the coating is greater, so it shows a better corrosion resistance effect.

[0043] Figure 6 It is the SEM image of the surface corrosion self-healing morphology of the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention after 14 days of immersion in brine.

[0044] As Figure 6 shown, the results of the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention after being immersed in a 3.5% mass fraction sodium chloride solution for 14 days show that a large number of nanoparticles appear on the surface and in the holes of the coating. This indicates that the cerium phosphate in the coating surface and holes reacts to form the corrosion product Ce(OH) 3 , exerting the self-healing performance. At the same time, it also increases the traditional corrosion product Mg(OH) 2The compactness is such that no local corrosion pits appear on the coating, and the corrosion resistance is greatly enhanced. Among them, the formula of the brine is: an aqueous solution of sodium chloride with a mass fraction of 3.5%, specifically, 3.5 g of NaCl powder is dissolved in 97 g of distilled water; the process conditions for soaking are: the test is tied with a thin fishing line and then completely immersed in a 1 L beaker containing 500 mL of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride with a mass fraction of 3.5%, the ambient temperature is maintained at 25 °C, and the humidity is maintained at 45%.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
