Abstract
The formation and destruction of the passivation film on AZ41 Mg alloy embedded in Portland cement paste were investigated via electrochemical methods and surface characterizations. Results indicate a thin but dense passivation film can be formed on the Mg alloy surface, while a distinctive sandwich-like structure of passivation film is observed on the Al-Mn phase. However, Cl− ions could lead to the destruction of the passivation film, resulting in the formation of a corrosion product layer even in the alkaline environment. Moreover, corrosion resistance of AZ41 Mg alloy embedded in Portland cement paste improves over time, while the introduction of chloride ions triggers a decline in corrosion resistance.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
