RESUMEN
Magnesium alloys, particularly AZ91D, exhibit promising mechanical properties but are susceptible to corrosion, limiting their widespread industrial applications. This manuscript investigates the impact of voltage and concentration of Polyetherimide (PEI) on surface morphology and corrosion characteristics of AZ91D through electro-spin coating. PEI, known for its high strength and corrosion resistance, is applied using an eco-friendly electro-spin coating method. The study optimizes polymer concentration and applied voltage to enhance the anticorrosive properties of AZ91D. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveal the morphological alterations, while electrochemical corrosion tests provide insights into the corrosion resistance. The results show that a moderate PEI concentration (15 %) at 14 kV voltage exhibits the most favorable corrosion resistance, emphasizing the need to optimize both parameters for enhanced protection of AZ91D against corrosion. The results contribute to developing economical and effective corrosion protection techniques for magnesium alloys, mainly for automotive applications.
