► Mg alloy substrate under composite coating has an largely improved corrosion resistance, potential to meet the requirement of long-term mechanical of Mg alloy. ► Since substrate is well protected by composite coating, Ti-O film can keep the surface integrity, hence to function as a coating with go...
