Atmospheric Corrosion of AZ80 Magnesium Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The atmospheric corrosion behaviors of AZ80 magnesium alloy are investigated by exposure test in different testing sites. After four months exposure test, the corrosion morphologies and the component of the corrosion products were observed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX). The corrosion rates of AZ80 magnesium alloys were calculated by mass-loss. The results indicated that the corrosion resistance of AZ80 magnesium alloy in the sea environment is the worst. The corrosion degree of the back surface is worse than the front side. The corrosion products are mainly formed by carbonate, and contain small amount of chloride in most environments, while in Xishuangbanna and Jiangjin area contain a little sulfate.
