... is to appraise the anti-corrosion potential of selected amino acids on magnesium corrosion in sodium chloride solutions. Design/methodology/approach The corrosion inhibition of magnesium in aqueous solutions in the presence of benign, eco-friendly and readily available amino acids (alanine, arginine...

... and AZ91 alloys, Al and Zn additions enhance the mechanical properties of the substrate, but the introduction of Al₁₂Mg₁₇ (β-phase) aggravates the corrosion of α-Mg matrix (Zhao et al., 2008). Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are regarded as the most promising biomedical...

...Seyed Mohammad Hossein Mousavian; Seyed Hadi Tabaian Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of electrolyte compounds on the anodizing process. Magnesium and its alloys have low corrosion resistance. Anodizing operation is performed to increase the corrosion resistance...

...Seyed Mohammad Hossein Mousavian; Seyed Hadi Tabaian; Mohammadhassan Badihehaghdam Purpose The effect of zirconium, zinc, calcium and rare earth group as the alloying elements on mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of magnesium alloys was investigated in the simulated body fluid...

...Guosheng Huang; Wei Fu; Juan Zhou; Li Ma; Hongren Wang; Xiangbo Li Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the performance of cold-sprayed Zn15Al alloy coating whether it is capable of protecting magnesium alloy from corrosion, and to compare it with arc-sprayed Zn15Al alloy coating...

...Jian‐Rui Liu; Yi‐Na Guo; Wei‐Dong Huang Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate a chromium‐free conversion coating treatment for magnesium with phytic acid solution. Design/methodology/approach Pure magnesium was selected for the tests. Phytic acid solution was used...
