A novel CeO.sub.2/MgAl.sub.2O.sub.4 composite coating, fabricated via a cathode plasma electrolytic deposition (CPED) technique followed by hydrothermal synthesis, was developed in this study to explore its potential application as corrosion protection for AZ31 magnesium alloys. The microstructure o...
