%X In the present study, the potential of poly(ether imide) as corrosion protective coating for magnesium alloys was evaluated using the spin coating technique. The influence of different parameters on the coating properties was evaluated and the corrosion behaviour of the coatings was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The best corrosion protection was obtained preparing the coatings under N2 atmosphere, using 15% wt. solution in N’N’- dimethylacetamide (DMAc) which resulted in a coating of approximately 2 μm thickness, with an initial impedance of 109 Ω cm2 and of 105 Ω cm2 after 240 h of exposure to a 3.5% NaCl solution.
