Most of these studies have focused on the presence of Mg hydroxide (Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub>) and MgO in the layer.

The essential question for developing a corrosion-resistant Mg-based alloy with passive protection is: which are the best and most efficient elements that can form a passive layer when alloyed with Mg?
