Reducing the corrosion rate of magnesium alloys using ethylene glycol for advanced electrochemical imaging
Source abstract
Abstract
The corrosion of an AM50 Mg alloy was studied in ethylene glycol using electrochemical and electron microscopy techniques. Switching from H2O to ethylene glycol, it was shown that the corrosion of the AM50 alloy was significantly suppressed thereby slowing H2 evolution. The corrosion of the AM50 alloy was mapped using scanning electrochemical microscopy in the feedback mode. Ferrocenemethanol can be used to expose the reactive anodic areas on the Mg alloy. These studies confirmed that studies in ethylene glycol can be used to elucidate reaction features obscured by rapid corrosion in H2O without significantly altering the mechanism and damage morphology.
