Their structure was investigated using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The surface morphology of the magnesium alloy substrate and chitosan coatings was determined using Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) analysis. Corrosion tests (linear sweep voltamperometry and chronoamperometry) were performed on uncoated and coated magnesium alloy in the Hank\u2019s solution. In both cases, the hydrogen evolution method was used to calculate the corrosion rate after 7-days immersion in the Hank\u2019s solution at 37 \u00b0C. It was found that the corrosion rate is 3.2 mm\/year and 1.2 mm\/year for uncoated and coated substrates, respectively. High corrosion resistance of Mg20Zn alloy covered by multilayer coating (CaP coating + chitosan water glass) is caused by formation of CaSiO3 and Ca3(PO4)2 compounds on its surface.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms22158301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,2]],"date-time":"2021-08-02T08:44:11Z","timestamp":1627893851000},"page":"8301","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Corrosion Resistance of MgZn Alloy Covered by Chitosan-Based Coatings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8979-9327","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iryna","family":"Kozina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Foundry Engineering, AGH University of Science and Technology, Reymonta 23 Street, 30-059 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2846-8353","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Halina","family":"Krawiec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Foundry Engineering, AGH University of Science and Technology, Reymonta 23 Street, 30-059 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4764-3719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Starowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Foundry Engineering, AGH University of Science and Technology, Reymonta 23 Street, 30-059 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6958-1649","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Kawalec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Foundry Engineering, AGH University of Science and Technology, Reymonta 23 Street, 30-059 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2525","DOI":"10.1007\/s11661-006-0233-5","article-title":"The Role of Microstructure in Localized Corrosion of Magnesium Alloys","volume":"35","year":"2004","journal-title":"Metall.
