Abstract
The corrosion behavior of few cast Mg–Zn alloys, micro-alloyed with Ag and/or Ca (0.1at.% each), has been investigated in 3.5wt.% NaCl solution with the help of dynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and immersion tests. The effect of microstructures on corrosion behavior has been discussed thoroughly. The corrosion products formed on the immersed samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. It has been observed that the Ca containing alloys show good corrosion resistance. This is attributed to the particular microstructure and carbonate-based protective film (corrosion products) formed on the surface.
