Corrosion of Magnesium Alloys: A Review

Abstract

Because they have such a good ratio of strength to weight, magnesium alloys are becoming more popular for application in aircraft and transportation technologies. However, because of their corrosive properties—the primary obstacle—they are not widely used as aluminium alloys. This is due to the fact that corrosion is the primary problem. The processes of magnesium corrosion are investigated in this research, which also sets the framework for the development of novel alloys with improved corrosion characteristics.
