Abstract

A Schiff base (a compound containing a C=N bond) induced anodic Ca-P coating was prepared on AZ31 Mg alloy in a mixed solution of CaCl2 and KH2PO4 at 60 °C in the presence of glucose and L-cysteine. The microstructure and chemical composition of the coatings were characterized using FE-SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and XPS. The in vitro degradation resistance of the coated samples was evaluated via potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and hydrogen evolution test. The experimental results show that the Ca-PSchiff base coating is composed of CaHPO4 (DCPA) and hydroxyapatite (HA), whereas HA is not present in the Ca-P coating. The Ca-PSchiff base coating thickness is about 2 times that of Ca-P coating (Ca-P coating: (9.13±4.20) μm and Ca-PSchiff base: (18.13±5.78) μm). The corrosion current density of the Ca-PSchiff base coating is two orders of magnitude lower than that of the Ca-P coating. The formation mechanism of the Ca-PSchiff base is proposed.
