The latest developments in coating technology and alloy chemistry design have removed much of the barrier and a number of chromate-free processes are commercially available for the parts that require a coating or coatings. As part of the Structural Cast Magnesium Development (SCMD) project, several types of newly selected coatings were evaluated for protection against general and galvanic corrosion. ...The latest developments in coating technology and alloy chemistry design have removed much of the barrier and a number of chromate-free processes are commercially available for the parts that require a coating or coatings. ...As part of the Structural Cast Magnesium Development (SCMD) project, several types of newly selected coatings were evaluated for protection against general and galvanic corrosion. The latest results are presented in this paper.

In the research work that is undertaken at the Materials Technology Laboratory of Natural Resources Canada in partnership with a major USAMP (US DOE) program, an effort was made to select environmentally friendly coatings for Mg alloys and to evaluate new coatings for steel fasteners and new alloys for use as washers and spacers. ...Effective coatings are essential for such applications.
