Abstract
This article opens a series of publications in which the main problems of magnesium alloys will be considered, such as low corrosion resistance, high anisotropy of mechanical properties, low fire safety, as well as the industries of application of these materials. The cycle of works involves several parts, each of which is devoted to a separate macro-problem characteristic of magnesium alloys, or to industries in which magnesium alloys may be most in demand. This part of the review presents basic information and systems for alloying magnesium alloys. The crystallographic and structural factors influencing the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys are described. The possibility of using magnesium alloys in medicine is shown, and the reasons for which at the current moment of time their use is difficult.
