More and more researches are focused on investigating the extremely wetting surfaces because of their applications in self-cleaning and anti-icing. However, aircrafts body panels and car glass windows were often exposed to harsh environment impact. In this paper, an electrochemical etching method were used to fabricate magnesium superhydrophobic surface with selg-cleaning property. Water contact angle (CA) of 165.8° and sliding angle (SA) of less than 3° were obtained after fluorination. The micro-structure of superhydrophobic surface were obtained by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The neutral electrolyte of electrochemical etching was an aqueous solution of NaCl and NaNO3. The superhydrophobic surface has water-repellent property. This study is also provided a potential method to fabricate the superhydrophobic surface. 1
