Electrochemical behaviour and surface treatment of magnesium alloy ZK60

Magnesium alloys, specifically ZK60, have emerged as a promising material for use in modern and safe transportation due to their lightweight and high strength properties. To enhance the corrosion resistance of ZK60, the PEO (Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation) process was applied to form a ceramic-like oxide layer on the surface of the alloy. Additionally, a PVA polymer coating was applied on top of the PEO layer. The effect of the PEO layer and the combined PVA polymer coating on the corrosion resistance of ZK60 was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that the PEO layer combined with the PVA polymer coating significantly improved the corrosion resistance of the ZK60 alloy. This makes ZK60 alloy a suitable material for use for many applications not even in the transportation industry.
