“…The continuous development of the light industry has increased demand for magnesium alloys, especially Mg-Al-Zn [26]. However, magnesium alloys are prone to be eroded [27,28,29,30], limiting practical applications. There are quite a few reasons that can account for the corrosion of magnesium alloys [31,32,33]; for instance, moist or polluted atmosphere, temperature, microorganisms, concentration of Cl − , Br − , SO 4 2− and NO 3 − , pH, etc.…”
