Description

The growth kinetics of plasma electrolytic oxide coatings on a coarse grained and ultrafine-grained biodegradable Mg-2%Sr alloy was evaluated. Kinetic coefficients corresponding to the coating growth according to the dissolution-precipitation model were estimated depending on the alloy structure, and their correlation with the coating properties was demonstrated. The coating morphology and phase composition were correlated with protective properties studied using electrochemical tests on treated and untreated samples in Ringer's solution. Equivalent circuits for the systems «alloy-electrolyte» and «alloy-coating-electrolyte» were developed. It was shown that the PEO-coating obtained on the ultrafine-grained alloy has the best protective properties.
