Abstract
The use of a custom Mg-3Pb alloy as a sacrificial anode for protecting AZ31, AM60, and AZ91 Mg alloys in 0.1 M NaCl solution was evaluated using surface characterization, mass loss, electrochemical measurements, and gravimetric H2 collection. The Mg-3Pb alloy exhibited consistently lower open circuit potential values than the protected alloys and demonstrated protection efficiencies over 95 %. No polarity reversal or cathodic activation was observed, despite increased anomalous H2 evolution. These findings confirm the effectiveness and viability of Mg-3Pb alloy as a sacrificial anode for the cathodic protection of AZ31, AM60, and AZ91 Mg alloys.
期刊介绍:
Applied Surface Science covers topics contributing to a better understanding of surfaces, interfaces, nanostructures and their applications. The journal is concerned with scientific research on the atomic and molecular level of material properties determined with specific surface analytical techniques and/or computational methods, as well as the processing of such structures.
