The corrosion current densities of the Al arc-sprayed AZ31 specimens in their spray-coated condition, and after hot pressed under 500 and 1600 MPa conditions, were found to 4 5 7 2 be 2.4 10 , 2.1 10 and 8.1 10 A cm , respectively. Apparently, the corrosion resistance of the Al arc-sprayed AZ31 specimens was significantly improved by the densification of the Al-sprayed layer. By adopting an anodizing treatment the corrosion current density of the 8 2 AZ31 Mg alloy with dense Al coating was further reduced to 3.7 10 A cm , showing an improvement of the corrosion resistance of the Al-coated AZ31 alloy by the anodizing treatment. The overall electrochemical impedances ranging from 0.01 Hz to 10 kHz of the Al arc- sprayed+hot pressed+anodized (AHA) specimen were approximately 2 orders of magnitude higher than t
