Corrosion of aluminum(Al) alloys during service limits many applications. Micro-arc oxidation(MAO) coatings can enhance corrosion resistance, but porous defects in the films undermine their effectiveness. Here, by mixing a phosphate electrolyte with soluble Zn and Ce salts, zinc phosphate and cerium phosphate co-doped MAO corrosion-resistant coating is prepared on Al alloy LY12. Zinc phosphate and cerium phosphate are incorporated in situ to form an amorphous encapsulated nanocrystalline structure. During long-term corrosion, Zn2+is released and deposited as corrosion products Zn(OH)2to cover weak corrosion micro-regions in the coating. Simultaneously, Ce3+released from MAO coating co-doped with zinc phosphate/cerium phosphate forms Zn(OH)2/Ce(OH)3due to the small solubility product Kspto further enhance corrosion resistance. Compared to pristine Al alloy,corrosion potential increases from -1.306 to -0.819 VSCE, and corrosion current density decreases by 4 orders of magnitude from 2.6 × 10-6to 2.5 × 10-10A·cm-2. Co-doped MAO coating significantly enhances corrosion resistance of Al alloy LY12 and shows great potential for a wide range of applications.
