Investigation of Ti/Al2O3 + TiO2 and Ti + TiO2/Al2O3 + TiO2 hybrid coatings as protection of ultra-light Mg–(Li)–Al–RE alloys against corrosion

Abstract Low corrosion resistance is a significant problem of magnesium alloys, particularly ultra-light magnesium-lithium alloys. Surface treatment is one way to improve their corrosion resistance. The paper presents the results of tests of Ti/Al2O3 + TiO2 and Ti + TiO2/Al2O3 + TiO2 coatings obtain...
