Abstract

This invention provides a method for the anodization of magnesium or magnesium based alloys using an electrolytic solution containing ammonia, amines or both. The use of such an aqueous electrolytic solution in at least preferred forms alters the conditions under which anodization can occur to provide a more than satisfactory coating on the magnesium material with reduced cycle times.
