Biological ceramic coatings have been prepared on AZ31B magnesium (Mg) alloy specimens by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in alkaline electrolyte, with and without the addition of nano-particles (Y2O3, CeO2 and ZrO2). Due to the MAO coating porosity and with micro-cracks, electrophoresis deposition (EPD) has been applied to fill the micro-pores and micro-cracks of MAO coating with hydroxyapatite (HA). The microstructure feature and phase composition of samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scratch tests were performed for evaluating the adhesion strength and scratch hardness of the samples to the Mg substrate. The corrosion behavior of samples were evaluated by using potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 36.5 ± 0.5 °C. The results indicated that regardless of adding nano-particles, the surface feature of MAO samples were not affected significantly. Conversely, the adhesive strength and scratch toughness of samples were improved, especially for the samples treated in the solutions containing CeO2 and ZrO2. For this reason, samples treated in solutions containing CeO2 and ZrO2 were chosen for EPD treatment. EPD treatment carried out in suspensions containing nano-particles (HA) with biological activity. Furthermore, the results of potentiodynamic polarization tests showed that nano-particles do not affect the corrosion resistance of MAO samples significantly and that EPD treatment can improve the corrosion resistance of MAO samples.
