Sumario:Coating of an organo-silane (Bis-1,2-(TriethoxySilyl)Ethane (BTSE)) has been observed to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy AZ91D. Three different types of surface preparations have been employed before condensing the silane coating on to the substrate. Corrosion resistance was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A specific alkali treatment of the substrate prior to the coating has been found to improve the corrosion resistance of the coated alloy, which has been attributed to the ability of the treatment in facilitating the condensation of a relatively compact siloxane film.
