Abstract

In order to explore the wide application of AM60B in automobile field, nano-SiC/micro-arc oxidation (MAO) composite coating layer was prepared on the surface of AM60B to improve its high-temperature corrosion resistance. The electrochemical properties were studied in different temperature environments (ambient temperature (ABM), 60, 80, and 100 °C) using potentiodynamic polarization tests. The local corrosion properties were evaluated in 3.5% NaCl solution using Localized Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (LEIS). The global electrochemical test results show that the impedance of nano-SiC/MAO coating is 1~2 orders of magnitude higher than that of MAO coating in high-temperature corrosion environment, and the main corrosion product is Mg(OH)2. The local electrochemical test results show that the minimum impedance of nano-SiC/MAO coating is 2×105 Ω higher than that of MAO coating, and the longitudinal depth and transverse width of scratch expansion are smaller than that of MAO coating. The scratch coating still has a protective effect on the substrate. The corrosion physical model of nano-SiC/MAO coating with scratches is proposed.
