Abstract
Magnesium alloys continue to play a significant role in the context of lightweight structural materials, albeit that corrosion susceptibility remains a limit to their wider use. Most research to date has focused on aqueous corrosion of Mg alloys, whilst atmospheric corrosion remains poorly understood. Using atom probe tomography and a novel in-situ coating method, the native oxide layer in an additively manufactured Mg-Al alloy (AZ111) was investigated. Aluminum was found to diffuse outwards during oxidation and to be incorporated into a Mg-oxide/hydroxide rather than forming the postulated Al₂O₃ layer. This study advances the understanding of magnesium oxidation.
期刊介绍：
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews across the spectrum of pure and applied corrosion, material degradation, and surface science and engineering. It serves as a crucial link connecting metallurgists, materials scientists, and researchers investigating corrosion and degradation phenomena. Join us in advancing knowledge and understanding in the vital field of corrosion science.
