Study on Corrosion Behavior of Hot Extruded Mg-1Ca-0.5Mn Alloy in Sodium Chloride Water Solution

Article Preview

Abstract:

The corrosion behavior of extruded Mg-1Ca-0.5Mn(weight percent)alloy in 0.9% sodium chloride water solution was investigated by using mass-loss measurement and electrochemical method. The results show that filiform corrosion and pitting corrosion occur during immersion corrosion process. The average corrosion rate gradually decreases as immersion time increases; it is 0.53 mm/a after immersion at 37°C for 11 days. The corrosion current density icorr and corrosion potential Ecorr of the alloy is 0.042 mA/cm2 and -1.60V, respectively. The instantaneous corrosion rate is 0.88 mm/a. Mg-1Ca-0.5Mn alloy erodes by continuous dissolution. The corrosion product Mg(OH)2 layer surrounding the magnesium alloy can decrease the corrosion rate. The erosion process of the magnesium alloy is controlled by cathodic diffusion.
