In this work, a calcium silicate and calcium phosphate (CaSiO 3 /CaHPO 4 · 2H 2 O) composite coating was applied by a chemical reaction to an extruded Mg‐Zn‐Ca magnesium alloy. SEM observation showed that a flat and sand‐like conversion coating was formed. X‐ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis indicated that the conversion coating was composed of CaHPO 4 · 2H 2 O and a little amount of CaSiO 3 . The formation mechanism of CaSiO 3 /CaHPO 4 · 2H 2 O composite conversion coatings was discussed. The electrochemical polarization tests showed that the conversion coating markedly improved the biocorrosion resistance of Mg‐Zn‐Ca alloy in Hank's solution. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
