Abstract:The authors review their recent research work in an endeavour to interpret the influence of native oxide films on the corrosion behaviour of commercial AZ31 and AZ61 magnesium alloys and the oxidation kinetics of these alloys in air at 200ºC. The tendency of some of these thin films to be sufficiently protective in mild or weak corrosive environments was examined. For obtaining oxide films with different protective properties, some of the specimens were tested with the surface in the as-received condition, whi… 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.
