Abstract
This study investigates the effect of Ti addition (0, 0.2, 0.5, 1wt%) on corrosion resistance of as-cast and hot rolled AM60 magnesium alloy. Corrosion behaviors were investigated by immersion tests and electrochemical analysis. The results showed that Ti addition altered the microstructure of as-cast AM60 magnesium alloy by decreasing the amount of β-Mg17Al12 eutectic phase. Homogenization treatment resulted in the dissolution of the most of the β-Mg17Al12 phases. Homogenized samples exhibited the lowest corrosion rate in immersion test while the best corrosion resistance was found for hot-rolled samples in electrochemical test. In hot-rolled state, Ti addition led to a slight change in the corrosion resistance of AM60 magnesium alloy.
