Abstract
The present work aims to elucidate the effect of Mg17Al12 precipitates on the corrosion behavior and anisotropy in Mg-Al alloys, along with the underlying mechanisms involved. The corrosion of AZ91 is significantly inhibited, and its corrosion anisotropy undergoes substantial changes following aging treatment. These alterations in corrosion behavior can be attributed to the formation of Mg17Al12 precipitates. The precipitates, along with corrosion products, can form a protective barrier layer resembling a “rebar-and-concrete” structure, which significantly inhibits corrosion in AZ91. Furthermore, the corrosion anisotropy of the aged alloy is related to the morphological difference of precipitates on the different orientated surfaces.
