Abstract: | The electrochemical behavior of cast Mg, AZ91, and cast AZ91 in 0.1 M NaCl solution is investigated by measuring open-circuit
potential (OCP), steady-state current-potential, and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS). The similar electrochemical
impedance behavior is found of three corrosion electrodes. There are two capacitances in high-and medium-frequency domains
and one inductive loop or component in low-frequency domain. From equivalent circuit simulation, cast AZ91 has the worst corrosion
resistance. The EIS results are in good agreement with those obtained by OCP and polarization curves. Based on the Cao theory,
a simple corrosion mechanism is put forward, supplying a possible explanation for low-frequency inductive behavior for Mg
and its alloy in NaCl solution at OCP.
