Abstract:This paper is a part from a running project aiming at optimizing the permanganate coating treat ment for rare earth (RE) containing magnesium alloys. Alloying of Mg alloys with RE elements enhances the galvanic corrosion and decreases the overall resistance. The objective of this paper is to optimize the perman ganate treatment time that can provide the highest protection, so that permanganate coating can be engi neered for Mg alloys. Electrochemical characteristics, morphology, and microstructure examination … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
