Abstract
This study fabricated alloy films with excellent corrosion resistance by depositing an Mg film on Al-Si coated steel sheets and applying heat treatment. The fabricated Al-Mg-Si alloy film formed a corrosion product film composed of two layers, showing an excellent barrier effect against corrosion factors. The Mg in the film fabricated by heat treatment for 5 min was widely distributed in a dissolved state on the AI phase and was continuously involved in the corrosion product formation reaction. The corrosion resistance evaluation results were explained by analyzing the properties of the alloy film and the mechanism of forming corrosion products.
