    Zero charge corrosion protection, ZCCP, is a new invention in the field of corrosion protection. It applies alternating current, AC, mode while the protective potential to ensure that the metal exposed in the corrosive environment still does not exist in any of the previous works of literature. The study was conducted by the voltage scanning within corrosion potential, Ecorr, and polarized potential, Eimpressed, using potentiostat. It was carried out by examining the behavior of the current flow in the circuit. The experimental results found that the protective potential for maximum protection in the ZCCP system is 0 mV. By keeping the AC metal potential at 0 mV, the surface will not acquire any charges, hence the corrosion reaction will be inhibited.

    The concept of zero charge potential (Epzc) is manipulated to eliminates the effect of the electric double layer in order to mitigate the corrosion reactions through the zero-charge corrosion protection (ZCCP) method. The efficiency of the ZCCP method was examined by planned intervals test on pure Mg metal in 3.5% NaCl solution. The test results showed that the tendency of both liquid corrosiveness and metal corrodibility are decreased from -1562.7mm/yr (Eocp) to -98.2mm/yr (Epzc). ZCCP technique was succeeded by corrosion protection efficiency of pure Mg which was recorded between 93 to 96% in 3.5%) NaCl solution.

    Simple chemical conversion has been employed in order to coat calcium phosphates (CaP) on magnesium (Mg) substrate. The Mg substrates were coated in a primary phosphating bath before secondary treated with an alkaline solution of sodium hydroxide, NaOH. In this paper, the fabrication process of the coatings via simple chemical conversion method were discussed and evaluated in terms of electrochemical, phase analysis, and microstructural aspects. XRD diffractogram confirmed that the primary coating composed of dicalcium phosphate dehydrates (DCPD) and after the secondary treatment, the DCPD transformed into more stable hydroxyapatite, HA. The microstructural observations show that the coating is composed of flower-like shape crystallites. Besides, the potential-time curves of both primary and secondary coated samples suggests that the minimum deposition time for better coverage of the coatings is 30 minutes.
