Anodic coatings formed by spark anodizing (SA) with different electrolyte recipes often have distinct composition and properties. In this paper we report on the study of correlations between electrolytes and the coating properties of a thick SA layer (190 μm) formed on an AZ91D magnesium alloy. The voltage transient during this SA process in phosphate-silicate electrolyte solution is characterized...
