Abstract: The change regulation of microflaw and phases constitution in the process of growth of ceramic coating formed by micro-arc oxidation on magnesium alloys and their influence on corrosion-resistance were studied by SEM, XRD and salt spray tests. The results show that in the initial stage of micro-arc oxidation the obtained ceramic coating is compact and nearly no microflaw can be observed,the microflaws like holes begin to appear in the exterior and finally irregular holes fill with 90% of the thickness range. The ceramic coating is mainly composed of MgO, MgSiO3, MgAl2O4 and non-crystal phase. The proportion of MgO in the coating increases continually with the thickness increasing,but the proportion of non-crystal phase decreases gradually. The micro-arc oxidation of short time is beneficial to preparing compact and no flaw ceramic coating mainly composed of non-crystal phase.
