An alumina-silicon dioxide composite coating was fabricated by cold spraying on AZ31 magnesium alloy. The microstructure, mechanical properties (microhardness, bonding strength and tribological behaviour) and anticorrosion property of the coating as a function of the ceramic volume were investigated. The results show that the composite coating presents higher bonding strength and microhardness. Addition of silicon dioxide significantly enhances the anti-wear and anti-corrosion performances of AZ31 magnesium alloy.
