Abstract:

The paper organises the current state of knowledge concerning the effect of hydrogen on stress corrosion of magnesium alloys. This review describes phenomena and mechanisms connected with stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) in commonly used magnesium alloys from Mg-Al-Zn system. In addition, some information about SCC in alloys from Mg-Y-RE-Zr and Mg-Al-RE systems is described. It seems that microstructural factors (e.g., matrix α-Mg and intermetallic phases) related to the presence of Y, Zr and rare earth elements (RE) plays an essential role in hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC).
