Effect of yttrium addition on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of Mg−Zn−Zr alloys

Abstract: Microstructure evolution and bio-corrosion behaviors of as-cast Mg-3Zn-0.4Zr-xY (x = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 wt.%) alloys were studied by using optical microscope, x-ray diffractometer, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscope, immersion test and electrochemical measurement. Results indicated that yttrium addition led to significant grain refinement and to the formation of I-phase (Mg 3 YZn 6 ) and W-phase (Mg 3 Y 2 Zn 3 ). The volume fraction of I-phase is dramatically increased after 2 wt% ytt… Show more

“…However, decreased corrosion rates produced by secondary phases were also reported [ 93 ]. When the volume fraction of secondary phases is sufficiently large and a continuous network of precipitated phases is formed, it can retard the corrosion process through a barrier mechanism [ 94 , 95 ]. As such, continuous secondary phases can inhibit the development of corrosion from one grain to another [ 96 ].…”

“…Hence, the degradation behavior is closely related to the phase volume fraction (α-magnesium + Ca 2 Mg 6 Zn 3 + Mg 51 Ca 20 ) [17]. The addition of calcium and man-ganese can refine the microstructure and improve the corrosion properties and they are both trace nutrients elements in human body [18,19]. Manganese was beneficial improving the corrosion resistance of Mg-4Zn-0.5Ca alloys [20].…”

“…Alloying has been proven to be an effective strategy to improve the oxidation resistance of magnesium. [ 15,16 ] Due to their specific thermochemical properties, several alloying elements are known to improve the oxidation resistance of magnesium alloys. [ 17 ] The improved oxidation resistance is typically attributed to the formation of compact oxide films.…”
