초록
Magnesium alloys is the lightest by structural metals, but it is not good corrosion resistant because of pit, void. Particularly, AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets that have slag, scratch by rolling process indicate some defects. The objective of this research is to perform uniform plating on AZ31B by studying etching and zincate process. Especially, zincate treatment by zinc salt and pyrophosphate is the most important in the decoration plating. Dissolution of magnesium is reduced by the formation of uniform zinc conversion layer during strick and post process, which decreases defects for plating process.
