Effects of tensile and compressive deformation on corrosion behaviour of a Mg–Zn alloy

Corrosion Behavior of Fe/Zr Composite Coating on ZK60 Mg Alloy by Ion Implantation and Deposition

“…Figure 1 shows the XRD patterns of ZK60 and Fe-Zr-ZK60 samples. The diffraction peaks of ZK60 sample suggest the existence of α-Mg main phase and some MgZn 2 second phase [28,29]. For the Fe-Zr-ZK60 sample, there appear some additional peaks and the peak intensity of α-Mg phase is obviously decreased, indicating the formation of new phases.…”

Comment on “New understanding of the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the corrosion of Ni–Cr–Mo–V high strength steel”

“…Nevertheless, it is known that in addition to tensile stress, compressive stress can also accelerate the corrosion of metals due to their contribution to the strain energy [7][8][9]. The more hydrostatic pressure there is, the greater the stress (in absolute value) and, therefore, the greater the rate of corrosion in any direction.…”

Mg-Ca binary alloy sheets with Ca contents of ≤1 wt.% with high corrosion resistance and high toughness

“…Hydrogen is accumulated in gas pockets next to the implant, which delays healing of the surgical region [4]. As one of the methods to decrease the corrosion rates of magnesium, alloying has been extensively studied [5][6][7][8][9][10][11], but there are only a few alloying elements that are suitable for biodegradable magnesium alloys. This is because Al and rare-earth elements, which are the most effective elements for improving the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of Mg alloys, are not ideal alloying elements due to their toxicity [12,13].…”
