The super-hydrophobic surface was successfully prepared on the Al-Mg alloy substrate by electrochemical etching in neutral NaCl solution and low surface energy modification. Complex micro-structures and fluoroalkylsilane played important roles in the formation of super-hydrophobic surfaces. Scanning...
