Abstract

The objective of this study is to understand the effect of the composition and second phases on the corrosion behavior of AZ alloys. Detailed examination of microstructure and corrosion resistance in 5% NaCl electrolyte of AZ alloy in as cast, T4 and T6 conditions were carried out. The microstructure examinations were conducted using Scanning Electron Microscope Spectroscopy. In addition, the the oxide films formed on the surfaces of the Mg alloys exposed to air and immersed in 5% NaCl solution have been investigated by the sensitive Auger Electron Spectroscopy.
