This paper provides a review of recent developments in the field of Mg corrosion and puts
those into context. This includes considerations of corrosion manifestations, material …

The perceived easy ignition and flammability of magnesium alloys create a detrimental
safety feature that overshadows their high strength-to-weight ratio and hinders the …

WE43 is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant Mg-alloy containing rare earths such as Y and
Nb, and has potential for many lightweight structural or bioresorbable prosthetic …

This paper reviews (i) the oxidation of Mg alloys at elevated temperatures in air;(ii) the
influence of alloying elements on the oxidation of Mg alloys; and (iii) the progress in the …

Achieving a high strength-ductility synergy in rolled Mg alloys remains a major challenge,
especially for Mg alloys with high contents of rare earth (RE) elements, which are hard-to …

Magnesium alloys have become more attractive because of their low density and
electromagnetic shielding effectiveness in the aerospace industry. However, some …

An ultrahigh corrosion resistance of Mg-Er alloys was achieved via a simple method by
forming an Er 2 O 3 oxide film using a high temperature treatment. The corrosion rate of Mg …

There has been a spurt in the quest for ignition resistant Mg materials that can be employed
in the aerospace sector, consequent to the recent lifting of the ban on magnesium based …

Abstract Three alloys of Mg-0Gd, Mg-13Gd-0.5 Zr and Mg-20Gd-0.6 Zr (wt%) are smelted to
study the effect of high Gd content on the high-temperature oxidation and corrosion …

It was discovered over 75 years ago that minor additions of elements with high affinity to
oxygen exert a profound effect on oxidation resistance of many metals and alloys. In this …
