Abstract
Al-based cored wire was investigated for improving the surface performance of magnesium alloy.The coatings on AZ91 magnesium alloy were prepared by arc spraying.The evaluation of the corrosion properties of the coatings were carried out through salt spray test and electrochemical experiment.The microstructure and phase compositions of the coatings were observed by means of optical and X-ray diffraction.The results showed that Al-based coatings can protect the magnesium alloy substrate,the coating was homogeneous and dense.It was suggests that the corrosion resistance of coatings can be improved by adding Ni and Re.
