Preparation of yttrium-based coating to increase the corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy
Kolařík, Václav ; Buchtík, Martin (referee) ; Doskočil, Leoš (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis was the preparation and characterization (morphological and chemical) of coatings based on layered double hydroxides (LDH) with yttrium on AZ31 magnesium alloy to improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy. The coatings were prepared under mild and hydrothermal conditions and the synthesis was supported by thermodynamic assumptions. The corrosion resistance of the AZ31 alloy with coatings was described by potentiodynamic measurements and compared with the pure AZ31 alloy. This was followed by a description of the morphological and elemental composition through SEM-EDS analysis, and confirmation of the formation of the structures observed by this method was performed through FTIR analysis. The best coating prepared under mild conditions was a sample prepared at 90 °C for 24 h with a yttrium concentration of 0,05 M and under hydrothermal conditions it was a coating prepared at 120 °C for 30 h with a yttrium concentration of 0,075 M. SEM-EDS and FTIR analysis did not show the formation of MgY-LDH but the formation of Mg(OH)2. Yttrium was minorly represented in the coatings where it could be present, e.g. as Y(OH)3. Yttrium was shown to have a positive effect on the preparation of the coatings compared to the sample prepared without yttrium under the same reaction conditions.
