Recently, protection- and function-integrated coatings have attracted much attention in the research field of magnesium alloys. In this work, a simple chemical conversion process is proposed to fabricate a composite coating on a magnesium\u2013neodymium alloy through immersion in an aqueous solution made of Ca(OH)2 and NaHCO3. After the immersion process, a coating consisting of two spontaneously formed layers is acquired. The top flower-like layer is composed of Mg5(OH)2(CO3)4\u22194H2O, Mg(OH)2 and CaCO3, and the inner dense layer is speculated to be Mg(OH)2. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, polarization tests, and hydrogen evolution are combined to evaluate the corrosion resistance in simulated body fluid, simulated seawater solution, and simulated concrete pore solution, which reveals that the coated sample has better corrosion resistance than the uncoated one. After the coated sample is modified with fluorinated silane, a water-repellent surface can be achieved with an average water contact angle of 151.74\u00b0 and a sliding angle of about 4\u00b0. Therefore, our results indicate that effective corrosion protection and potential self-cleaning ability have been integrated on the surface of the magnesium alloy in this study. In addition, the formation mechanism of the self-layered coating is discussed from the viewpoint of the interaction between the substrate and its external solution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma17122815","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,10]],"date-time":"2024-06-10T08:59:06Z","timestamp":1718009946000},"page":"2815","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Simultaneously Regulating Electrochemical Corrosion Behavior and Wettability of Magnesium\u2013Neodymium Alloy by Self-Layered Chemical Conversion Coating"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-6754-733X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keke","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanics and Materials, Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yulian","family":"Kuang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanics and Materials, Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bingqian","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanics and Materials, Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Changyang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanics and Materials, Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0626-1589","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guosong","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanics and Materials, Hohai University, Nanjing 211100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"863","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jma.2022.04.001","article-title":"Research advances of magnesium and magnesium alloys worldwide in 2021","volume":"10","author":"Song","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
