A Comparative Study on Corrosion Behavior of Mg-Zn-Gd Alloys by Varying the Gd Content

Abstract:

In this study, two Mg-Zn-Gd alloys (Mg-5Zn-5Gd and Mg-5Zn-3Gd) are fabricated using high purity raw materials and by a clean melting process and subjected to immersion testing. The results indicate an increase in corrosion rate for increase in Gd content and the results are correlated using SEM, XRD and EDS analyses. It is seen that RE addition provides a protective oxide coating over the sample surface thereby assisting the corrosion resistance.
