The oxidation behavior of stir-cast and heat-treated EV31A at high temperatures in an air atmosphere

High-temperature tribological performance of stir-cast and heat-treated EV31A magnesium alloy: Experiments and predictions

“…The corrosion rate of the alloy is restricted by intermetallic phases and localized galvanic corrosion is reported [ 32 ]. The oxidation rate of the EV31A increases with an increase in temperature, due to the change in activation energy [ 33 ]. Further heat treatment of REE-based Mg alloys improves mechanical (hardness, tensile properties) and oxidation qualities at the expense of ductility due to the better mechanical properties of these alloys [ 33 , 34 ].…”

“…The oxidation rate of the EV31A increases with an increase in temperature, due to the change in activation energy [ 33 ]. Further heat treatment of REE-based Mg alloys improves mechanical (hardness, tensile properties) and oxidation qualities at the expense of ductility due to the better mechanical properties of these alloys [ 33 , 34 ]. Since this is the case, investigating their wear patterns is equally crucial, as heat treatment and working temperature are influencing the behaviour of the EV31A alloy.…”
