  • First Online:
Handbook of Sol-Gel Science and Technology

Abstract

Magnesium and magnesium alloys present very interesting properties that make them interesting materials for many applications in different fields. These alloys can be applied when the applications require lightweight materials, which are crucial to meet global environmental concerns. However, the full potential for the application of these materials has been limited by their low corrosion resistance. This chapter overviews the latest advances on the corrosion protection of magnesium alloys by functional coatings.

The first part of this chapter briefly addresses the most important properties, history, and more common applications for magnesium and magnesium alloys. The second part reviews the latest trends on protective coatings for magnesium and its alloys, with a strong emphasis on coatings obtained by the sol-gel route.
