Abstract
Crystallographic orientation significantly impacts the corrosion behavior of magnesium alloys. Previous research primarily focused on its influence on two-dimensional, static surface corrosion, neglecting the evolution of corrosion behavior from the surface to the interior. Therefore, three-dimensional (3D) and dynamic observations are essential to comprehensively understand the underlying mechanism. Using Mg-0.6Al-0.2Ca-0.3Mn (wt.%) (AXM) as a model alloy, we investigated the effect of crystallographic orientation on corrosion in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution across temporal and spatial scales by combining laboratory-based diffraction contrast tomography (Lab-DCT), and quasi in-situ computed tomography (CT). During early immersion, basal-oriented planes, influenced by the galvanic effect of the second-phase particles and non-basal-oriented planes, exhibited greater susceptibility to local corrosion, which then propagated towards adjacent near-basal-oriented planes. The loose, porous corrosion product film formed on basal-oriented grains facilitated deeper corrosion penetration over time, extending to surrounding grains with similar orientations. Prolonged immersion resulted in a higher corrosion volume percentage within basal-oriented grains. These findings underscore the crucial role of crystallographic orientation in controlling localized corrosion behavior, providing valuable theoretical insights for enhancing the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys through crystallographic orientation distribution control.
