Abstract
An optically transparent Li-Al-CO3 layered double hydroxide (LDH) film was formed on an AZ31 substrate by applying DC voltage between the cathode (AZ31) and the anode (stainless steel) in a Li+/Al3+ aqueous solution. The film thickness increased with electrolysis time. The LDH-coated sample exhibited low corrosion rate in NaCl solution, which was consistent with the results from long-term corrosion testing in a high-humidity environment. The LDH film exhibited good corrosion performance, which mainly resulted from its high hydrophobicity and its increased surface pH value during corrosion testing.
