Abstract: | Corrosion behavior of extruded Mg, extruded AZ31 alloy, and cast AZ91 alloy was investigated by electrochemical measurements
in dilute NaCl solutions. Corrosion products and passivation films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy. All specimens exhibit the corrosion and passivation zones in dilute NaCl solutions. The aluminum content and
alloy microstructure influence the corrosion and passivation processes. AZ91 alloy shows the broadest passivation zone followed
by AZ31 alloy and Mg. AZ91 alloy reveals a highest corrosion resistance, and preferential attack is located at the primary
Mg phase. Its relatively fine β-phase (Mg17Al12) network and Al2O3/Al(OH)3 compounds produced on the passivation film are the main factors which limit the corrosion progress as compared with AZ31
alloy and Mg. The thick passivation product on AZ31 alloy is the key factor which restricts the corrosion attack in dilute
solutions. |
