| Abstract | Magnesium and its alloys have excellent physical and mechanical properties for a number of applications. In particular magnesium’s high strength/weight ratio makes it an ideal metal for automotive and aerospace applications, where weight reduction is of significant concern. Unfortunately, magnesium and its alloys are highly susceptible to corrosion, which has limited their use in the automotive and aerospace industries, where exposure to harsh service conditions is unavoidable. The simplest way to mitigate corrosion is to coat the magnesium-based substrate to prevent its direct contact with the environment. This chapter discusses the state-of-the-art of two important coating processes for magnesium protection that are usually applied consecutively for vehicular bodies in the automotive industry: conversion coating and electrophoretic coating (E-coating). |
