Based on the alkaline electrolyte solution with primary oxysalt developed previ- Accepted 3 August 2008 ously, the optimum secondary oxysalt was selected by comparing the anti-corrosion property of anodic Available online 30 August 2008 film. The structure, component and surface morphology of anodic film and cross-section were analyzed using energy dispersion spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy Keywords: (SEM). The corrosion process was detected by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results A. Magnesium showed that secondary oxysalt addition resulted in different anodizing processes, sparking or non- A. Alloy C.
