A novel superhydrophobic calcium phosphate coating was prepared on a magnesium alloy substrate by a highly effective chemical conversion process and subsequent chemical modification. Different methods were employed to characterize the surface morphology and chemical composition as well as measure the wettability of the coating. It was demonstrated that the as-prepared superhydrophobic calcium phosphate coating has a typical three-level hierarchical structure consisted of micro-protrusions, submicro-lumps and nano-grains, conferring excellent superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 159°. The electrochemical measurements and appropriate equivalent circuit revealed that the corrosion-resistant performance of the superhydrophobic calcium phosphate coating was significantly improved as compared with that of the substrate, the corrosion potential of the superhydrophobic coating increases from −1.56 to −1.36 V, and its corrosion current density decreases from 1.29 × 10{sup −4} to 1.3 × 10{sup −6} A/cm{sup 2}. The anti-corrosion mechanism of the superhydrophobic coating was also discussed. It can be indicated that the corrosion inhibitive properties of the coating are in accordance with its hydrophobicity, which is owing to the presence of a protective layer of air trapped in the grooves of the coating surface to isolate the underlying materials from the external environment.
