Magnesium alloy has low density, high strength-to-weight ratio and othergood physical and mechanical characteristics. However, the application ofmagnesium alloys has been limited due to their undesirable properties includingpoor corrosion and low wear resistance. Thus, the formation of anticorrosion andhigh wear-resistance coatings on the surface of Mg or Mg alloys is necessary inpractical applications. Since magnesium is one of the most electrochemicallyactive metal, ordinary coatings, such as nickel, copp...
