Abstract

The paper presents a study of the properties of oxide coatings formed on the MA8 magnesium alloy by the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method in electrolytes with halloysite nanotubes. The composition of the obtained coatings was determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The surface morphology of the PEO-layers was studied using scanning electron microscopy and laser profilometry. The electrochemical properties of the coatings were established by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The mechanical characteristics of the coatings were evaluated using the scratch test, as well as the values of microhardness and Young’s modulus. It was found that the coatings obtained in the electrolyte with a concentration of halloysite nanotubes of 20 g/l have the best anticorrosion properties. The value of impedance modulus for these coatings is 10 times greater compared to the base PEO-coating. The layers obtained in the electrolyte containing 30 g/l of halloysite nanotubes demonstrated the highest adhesive strength.
