Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of surface treatment of metal materials, and particularly relates 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, the density of magnesium alloy is only 2 / 3 of that of aluminum and 1 / 4 of that of steel. It has characteristics such as high specific strength and excellent vibration damping performance, and shows 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 layer is loose and porous, unable to 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 restricting 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, TiO2) in the electrolyte, using the particles to fill the pores and reducing the risk of corrosive medium penetration; Second, the self-healing technology: by doping a Ce salt (such as cerium acetate), releasing Ce 3+ / Ce 4+ ions during the corrosion process, reacting with the corrosion products to form a dense protective film (such as Ce(OH)3) and 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, and it is difficult to meet the industrial requirements. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a composite coating preparation method with both self-sealing hole and self-healing functions to comprehensively improve the long-term corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] The AZ31B magnesium alloy was cut into samples with dimensions 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, absolute ethanol, and acetone for 10 minutes each to obtain the magnesium alloy substrate.

[0060] 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 micro-arc oxidation device with a 20 kW AC power supply was employed to perform micro-arc oxidation treatment on the surface of the magnesium alloy substrate in a constant current mode.

[0062] The following will describe Figures 1 to 6 the self-sealing and self-healing corrosion-resistant coating for magnesium alloy of the present invention and its preparation method.

[0063] Figure 1 Figure

[0064] As Figure 1 shown, for the self-sealing and self-healing corrosion-resistant coating for magnesium alloy 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. Upon magnified 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, resulting in a more significant hole-sealing effect.

[0065] Figure 2 Figure

[0066] AsFigure 2 As shown, according to the analysis of the elemental composition of the pore-filling substances on the surface, it can be seen that Ce elements are distributed throughout the coating, indicating the in-situ formation of cerium phosphate. In addition, Ce elements are enriched within the pores. This is a molten mixture of cerium phosphate and magnesium oxide generated by a specific electrolyte under the discharge state. Thus, it can be seen that the pore-sealing effect of the coating is remarkable. The multivalent state of Ce elements has a corrosion self-healing effect. When there are corrosive media within the pores of the coating, cerium phosphate will release Ce 3+ and generate Ce(OH)3, thereby exerting the self-healing performance.

[0067] Figure 3 This is the cross-sectional SEM image of the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Example 1 of the present invention.

[0068] As Figure 3 shown, for the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Example 1 of the present invention, the cross-sectional image near the surface clearly shows that the open pores generated by discharge breakdown are filled with the molten mixture, but the small internal closed air pores are not filled. This is caused by the gas generated during the plasma reaction in the coating growth process. Since this area has not undergone an intense discharge breakdown reaction, the pores are small and closed, so the presence or absence of fillers does not affect the corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0069] Figure 4 This is the cross-sectional element distribution diagram of the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Example 1 of the present invention.

[0070] As Figure 4 shown, by performing EDS elemental analysis on the cross-section near the surface of the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Example 1 of the present invention, it can be seen that the Ce element representing the filler is enriched in the pores. At the same time, there are also Mg, O, and P elements present. This indicates that the filler within the pores is mainly a mixture containing cerium phosphate.

[0071] Figure 5 This is the comparison chart of the electrochemical test results between the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Example 1 of the present invention and the magnesium alloy substrate.

[0072] 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 Example 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. Therefore, it shows a better corrosion resistance effect.

[0073] Figure 6 This 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 Example 1 of the present invention after 14 days of immersion in brine.

[0074] As Figure 6 shown, the results after the self-sealing and self-healing magnesium alloy corrosion-resistant coating provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention was immersed in a sodium chloride solution with a mass fraction of 3.5% for 14 days showed that a large number of nanoparticles appeared on the surface, holes and surface of the coating. This indicates that cerium phosphate in the coating surface and holes reacted to form the corrosion product Ce(OH)3, which exerted the self-healing performance. At the same time, the compactness of the traditional corrosion product Mg(OH)2 was also increased. Therefore, no local corrosion pits appeared on the coating, and the corrosion resistance was greatly enhanced. Among them, the formula of the brine is: an aqueous sodium chloride solution with a mass fraction of 3.5%, specifically, 3.5 g of NaCl powder is dissolved in 97 g of distilled water; the immersion process conditions are: the test is bundled with a thin fishing line and then completely immersed in a 1 L beaker containing 500 mL of an aqueous sodium chloride solution with a mass fraction of 3.5%, the ambient temperature is maintained at 25 °C, and the humidity is maintained at 45%.

[0075] 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 described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
