  • Publication number: 20110114497
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for the surface treatment of magnesium or a magnesium alloy by anodization to form an anodized oxide coating on the magnesium or magnesium alloy. The method comprises: removing impurities and an oxide layer present on the surface of magnesium or a magnesium alloy using a strongly alkaline aqueous solution (pretreatment); and immersing the pretreated magnesium or magnesium alloy in an alkaline electrolyte and applying a direct current having a current density of 3 A/dm2 or less to the electrolyte to form a magnesium oxide coating (microarc plasma anodization).
