Salah,

Have you performed a keyword search using one of the scientific search engines like Scirus or Cambridge Scientific Abstracts? Scirus is available for free, but CSA is not-- check with your library. Using Scirus, I obtained 166 hits with the keywords "anodizing magnesium alloy". There are a number of new processors that use high voltage anodizing (plasma) and have published articles in journals, at conferences, or online.

What new technique are you interested in? If it is a generic question, try doing a literature survey in the technical journals.
