Research progress of electrodeposition on nonferrous metals and alloys
[Introduction]Surface modification of nonferrous metals and alloys has become a hot topic in the field of materials science.[Method]The research progress of electrodeposition on surfaces of nonferrous metals i.e.aluminum,magnesium,titanium,and copper,and their alloys in aqueous solutions and ionic liquids was reviewed.The existing problems were pointed out,and the future development trend was proposed.[Result]Coatings with desirable properties can be obtained on nonferrous metals and alloys through electrodeposition.[Conclusion]Most of the electrodeposition technologies in aqueous solutions are mature.The electrodeposition technology in ionic liquid is more environmentally friendly,but needs to be further researched and improved.
