Abstract:The influence of the presence and absence of de-icing salt ingredient Ca2+ (CaCl2) on the corrosion behavior and morphology of calcareous deposition products on die cast AM50 magnesium alloy was investigated by using an electrolyte close to the de-icing salt composition (NaCl, MgCl2) with and without Ca2+ addition. The aim of the work is to point out the difference of corrosion mechanisms between the presence or absence of Ca2+ and between immersion and salt spray conditions. Electrochemical measurements (OCP,… 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.
