✦ Synopsis


The influence of NaCl and CO 2 on the atmospheric corrosion of magnesium alloy AZ91 is studied in the laboratory. Samples were exposed under carefully controlled air and flow conditions; the relative humidity was 95%, the temperature was 22.0 8C and the concentration of CO 2 was < 1 ppm or 350 ppm. Different amounts of sodium chloride (0 -70 lg/cm 2 ) were added before exposure. The corrosion products were analyzed by gravimetry, ion chromatography, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Mass gain and metal loss results are reported. The combination of high humidity and NaCl is very corrosive towards AZ91. However, the NaClinduced corrosion is inhibited by ambient concentrations of CO 2 . Exposure in the absence of CO 2 gives rise to heavy pitting, with brucite, Mg(OH) 2 , being the dominant corrosion product. In the presence of CO 2 a layer of hydrated magnesium hydroxy carbonate, Mg 5 (CO 3 ) 4 (OH) 2 Á 5 H 2 O forms. A tentative corrosion mechanism is presented that explains the behavior in the two environments.

Der Einfluss von NaCl und CO 2 auf die atmospha ¨rische Korrosion der Magnesiumlegierung AZ91 wurde im Labor untersucht. Proben wurden unter sorgfa ¨ltig kontrollierten Luft-und Stro ¨mungsbedingungen ausgelagert; die relative Feuchtigkeit betrug 95%, die Temperatur lag bei 22 8C und die Konzentration an CO 2 war < 1 ppm oder 350 ppm. Vor der Auslagerung wurden verschiedene Mengen an Natriumchlorid (0 -70 lg/cm 2 ) zugegeben. Die Korrosionsprodukte wurden mittels gravimetrischer Messungen, Ionenchromatographie, Ro ¨ntgendiffraktometrie und Rasterelektronenmikroskopie analysiert. Die Ergebnisse der Massenzunahme und des Metallverlustes werden vorgestellt. Die Kombination von hoher Feuchtigkeit und hohem NaCl-Gehalt ist sehr korrosiv gegenu ¨ber AZ91. Die NaCl-induzierte Korrosion wird jedoch durch Umgebungskonzentrationen an CO 2 inhibiert. Die Auslagerung bei Abwesenheit von CO 2 fu ¨hrte zu starker Lochkorrosion, wobei Brucit, Mg(OH) 2 das dominierende Korrosionsprodukt darstellt. Bei Anwesenheit von CO 2 bildet sich eine Schicht von hydratisiertem Magnesiumhydroxykarbonat, Mg 5 (CO 3 ) 4 (OH) 2 Á 5 H 2 O. Ein vorla ¨ufiger Korrosionsmechanismus, der das Verhalten in den zwei Umgebungen erkla ¨rt, wird vorgestellt.

A novel AZ91 Ce containing magnesium alloy characterized by excellent corrosion resistance is fabricated by adding rare earth Ce (cerium) in the form of a Mg-Ce master alloy. The metallographic investigation shows that Ce added to AZ91 can obviously decrease the size of b-Mg 17 Al 12 and forms Al 11
