sol sealing agent was prepared from tetraethoxysilane(TEOS)by ethyl alcohol as solvent and hydrochloric acid as catalyst.The Fourier transformed infrared spectrometry(FTIR)contains dilation flutter absorption peak of S-O-Si
which shows the presence of SiO
2
particle in solution.The sealing agent has a great stability at elevated uemperature because the strength of dilation flutter absorption peak of Si-O-Si does not change with heat treatment temperature.It could be observed that the SiO
2
sol sealing agent fills up the hole of micro-arc oxidation coating on magnesium alloy.The corrosion rate of MAO coating sealed by SiO
2
sol can be reduced from 106mg/(m2·h)to 32 mg/(m2·h).Moreover the anti-oxidizing performance of MAO coating at 410 ℃ is greatly improved by sealing
and the coating sealed by SiO
2
sol offers the effective protection for magnesium alloy substrate.
