Corrosion prevention of magnesium alloys


Book Description

This chapter discusses magnesium corrosion with particular reference to how magnesium automotive components, exposed to the automotive corrosion environment, can be protected and provide durable function. The chapter introduces the four types of corrosion that occur with automotive magnesium alloy components. The major focus is on the galvanic events associated with manufacturing and fastening between magnesium components and the steel/aluminum structures used in automotive construction. Examples of new applications, taken from the literature, are discussed with details of the protective modalities that were developed to ensure long-term vehicle durability.










Materials Corrosion and Protection


Book Description

This book introduces corrosion mechanisms and protection technologies for metallic and non-metallic materials. A focus lies on the protection of high-tech materials with applications in space and environments exposed to unclear radiation and biological hazards. The determination, measurement and control of different corrosion mechanisms are discussed in detail. Combining theories with case studies, it is an essential reference for material scientists and engineers.
