Keywords:

  • magnesium and magnesium alloys - corrosion resistance of magnesium and its alloys, dependent on film formation in medium exposed to;
  • galvanic corrosion of magnesium alloys - poor alloy quality due to levels of heavy metal, flux contamination and poor design assembly practices;
  • stress corrosion cracking, pure magnesium - not susceptible to SCC, Mg[BOND]Zn alloys with intermediate susceptibility
