As mentioned above, there has been little research into coating a metal layer directly onto a magnesium alloy. This is because magnesium alloys are very active chemically, so even if a slightly modified conventional method is used to prepare the base for plating on aluminum alloys, surface oxidation progresses and a plating film is formed. This was because they were inferior in terms of adhesion and weather resistance, and had low reliability.
