摘要
Corrosion of magnesium alloys was studied during exposure to simulated body fluid (SBF). Microgalvanic processes dominate degradation morphology and formation of the corrosion/conversion layer. Localized corrosion with vigorous hydrogen evolution was observed at zirconium- and iron-rich precipitates that act as micro-cathodes. These are surrounded by volcano-shaped deposits of Mg(OH)(2). Circular areas around cathodic centers were found to be protected from corrosion, while bulk degradation takes place in between. In SBF, conversion to a corrosion double layer was demonstrated. Differences observed for WE43 and pure magnesium (Mg) are discussed within the framework of a comprehensive model of the mechanisms of corrosion. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
