Magnesium alloys are increasingly used in aeronautic, astronautic, automobile, electronic and sporting goods industries etc. However, these alloys display some disadvantageous attributes, like first of all, the susceptibility to corrosion, particularly the electrochemical one, which results in both mass losses and the reduced mechanical durability. To protect magnesium alloys from corrosion the Plasma Activated Chemical Vapour Deposition (PACVD) method of manufacturing of protective carbon coatings on AZ31 magnesium alloys has been used. This report shows results of the study on corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy either bearing the carbon coating or not. The corrosion resistance was determined by the electrochemical laboratory method and by the corrosion test in a salt spray chamber.
