Summary: Plasma electrolytic fluorination (PEF) was conducted on AZ31 Mg alloy in ethylene glycol (EG) electrolytes with varying amounts of H3PO4. The effects of H3PO4 addition on the microstructure, growth behavior, and corrosion resistance of the PEF coatings were investigated. The results showed that the addition of H3PO4 weakened the plasma discharges and decreased the crystallinity of the PEF coating. When the H3PO4 content reached 20 g/L, the PEF coating transformed into an amorphous state. Furthermore, adding H3PO4 into the EG electrolytes increased the growth rates of the PEF coatings and changed the growth mechanism from inward growth to mixed growth dominated by outward growth. The corrosion resistance of the PEF coating varied with the H3PO4 content in the EG electrolytes, with the best corrosion resistance observed at an H3PO4 content of 10 g/L.

Summary: In this study, (NbTaMoW)Nx films were fabricated through reactive co-sputtering and their phase structures, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance properties were investigated. The results showed that the stoichiometric ratio x of the films increased with increasing nitrogen flow ratios, leading to a transformation from body-centered cubic metal phases to face-centered cubic covalent nitride phases. The face-centered cubic phases were further classified into M2N-dominant and MN-dominant structures. The (NbTaMoW)Nx films prepared at specific nitrogen flow ratios demonstrated high hardness and Young's modulus values. The addition of nitrogen-containing films, including the (Nb0.16-Ta0.29Mo0.32W0.23)N0.07 film, improved the corrosion resistance of the substrate.
