New design principles for the bath towards chromate- and crack-free conversion coatings on magnesium alloys

Cracking and low thickness are major obstacles to the high corrosion performance of conversion coating on magnesium alloy. In this work, the ratio of total acidity to pH (TA/pH) was applied as an indicator, and new principles regarding the design of conversion bath were proposed. The treatment bath...
