A Review of Magnesium/Magnesium Alloys Corrosion and its Protection~!2009-10-01~!2009-11-25~!2010-02-11~!

A review is provided about the current research on magnesium/magnesium alloys corrosion in the industry. Except for reviewing the kinds of corrosion on galvanic corrosion, stress corrosion, and corrosion fatigue, its corresponding mechanisms are also explained, such as the influence of metallurgical factors, and environmental factors. Furthermore, the protection of magnesium/magnesium alloys corrosion is presented, for instance, surface treatment/modification, coating and so on. Also, because the continuing challenges associated with the use of magnesium alloys, more considerations about future applications and research directions are given according to the properties improvement of magnesium alloys for the eco-friendly requirements.
