- Abstract
This study explores the application of ultrasonic vibration during plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) to enhance the corrosion resistance of magnesium (Mg) alloy. To this end, three different ultrasonic frequencies of 0, 40, and 135 kHz were utilized during PEO. In the presence of ultrasonic waves, the formation of a uniform and dense oxide layer on Mg alloys is facilitated. This is achieved through plasma softening, acoustic streaming, and improved mass transport for successful deposition and continuous reforming of the oxide layer. The oxide layer exhibits superior protective properties against corrosive environments due to the increase in compactness. Increasing ultrasonic frequency from 40 to 135 kHz, however, suppresses the optimum growth of the oxide layer due to the occurrence of super-soft plasma swarms, which results in a low coating thickness. The integration of ultrasonic vibration with PEO presents a promising avenue for practical implementation in industries seeking to enhance the corrosion protection of Mg alloys, manipulating microstructures and composition.
