The high strength to weight ratio of magnesium alloys makes them extremely attractive for
applications in transport or aerospace technology. However, their corrosion behavior is a …

This paper provides a review of recent developments in the field of Mg corrosion and puts
those into context. This includes considerations of corrosion manifestations, material influences…

The excellent properties of magnesium alloys, especially the high strength/weight ratio,
make them desirable materials in the automotive industry. However, their high corrosion …

The influence of pH and chloride ion concentration on the corrosion behaviour of ZE41 was
studied using immersion tests and electrochemical measurements. A shorter incubation …

Recent research is summarised with an emphasis on the use of Mg alloys for biodegradable
medical applications. Mg melt purification using Zr has been shown to provide the …

A review of the literature confirmed that the intrinsic corrosion rate of high-purity Mg as
measured by weight-loss is 0.3 mm/y in a concentrated chloride solution. Atmospheric corrosion …

The corrosion of commercial die-cast Mg–Al alloys was elucidated by a study, of the corrosion
in 3% NaCl, of (i) high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) model Mg–Al alloys, (ii) low-purity Mg, (iii…

This paper reviews and discusses the possibility of the production of a passive magnesium (Mg)
alloy through metallurgical approaches, such as purification, alloying, heat-treatment, …

Rolled AZ31 Mg alloy, which has great potential applications in the automobile industry, is
detected to be highly crystallographic textured. Its rolling surface (RS), mainly consisting of (…

This study investigates the effect of some industrial pre-treatments, including heat-treatment,
surface grinding and polishing, acid cleaning and sandblasting, on the corrosion …
