Abstract
The corrosion characteristics and corrosion mechanism of the extruded ZK80 alloy with different states soaking in 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature were analyzed via OM, SEM, EDS, XRD and static weightlessness method and other experimental analysis methods. The results show that when the aging temperature is constant, and the corrosion rate decreases with the lengthen of aging time, while when the corrosion time is constant, the corrosion rate increases with the increase in aging time. Appropriate aging treatment not only refines the grain of the alloy, but also precipitates the Mg–Zn phase which can effectively prevent the corrosion process and improve the anti-corrosion properties of the alloy. The main corrosion characteristics of the alloy are filamentary corrosion and pitting corrosion.
