EFFECT OF pH AND CHLORIDE ION CONCENTRATION ON ELECTROCHEMICAL BEHAVIOUR OF MAGNESIUM ALLOYS

Recent progress in materials used towards corrosion protection of Mg and its alloys

“…In fact, Mg alloys are mostly used as structural materials in atmospheric environments; however, there are limited reports about the atmospheric corrosion of these alloys. Most studies are oriented towards an electrochemical approach in solutions [78,79]. Oxygen reduction and water reduction are thought to contribute to the cathodic reaction on Mg in the atmospheric environment and under immersion condition [80]:…”
