Abstract
The microstructure, corrosion behavior, and mechanism of Mg-Er-Ni alloys with LPSO and Mg₂Ni eutectic phases are investigated, focusing on the effects of γ' phase introduction before and after low-temperature heat treatment. After heat treatment, the corrosion rate increases by 6.1–37.7 %, primarily due to the formation of new galvanic corrosion pairs caused by the high potential of the γ' phase, which also promotes corrosion propagation. Moreover, alloys with discontinuous intergranular LPSO and a high number density of intracrystalline lamellar γ' phases exhibit excellent degradation properties. This provides new insight for designing as-cast Mg alloys for fracturing tool with higher strength and faster degradation.
