TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed review of the corrosion mechanisms of magnesium alloys is presented, and the basis for the design of new alloys with improved corrosion properties is provided for improving the corrosion properties.

TL;DR: In this article, a mechanistic overview of the various types of magnesium corrosion is provided, and a theoretical framework for further, much needed research is provided. But, as stated in the introduction, "There is still vast scope both for better fundamental understanding of corrosion processes, engineering usage of magnesium, and also on the corrosion protection of magnesium alloys in service".

TL;DR: In this paper, the corrosion of die cast AZ91D was studied and related to its microstructure, and it was found that the casting method can influence the corrosion performance by its influence on the alloy microstructures, which is attributed to a combination of higher volume fraction of the beta phase, a more continuous beta phase distribution around finer alpha grains, and lower porosity in the skin layer than in the interior of the die casting.

TL;DR: In this article, the corrosion behavior of dual phase alloys was studied in 1 N NaCl at pH 11 by measuring electrochemical polarization curves, electrochemical AC impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and simultaneously measuring the hydrogen evolution rate and the magnesium dissolution rate.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrochemical behavior of magnesium was studied in representative chloride and sulphate solutions including NaCl, Na2SO4, NaOH and their mixed solutions, HCl, and H2SO 4: (1) by measuring electrochemical polarisation curves, (2) by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and (3) by simultaneous measurement of hydrogen gas evolution and measurement of magnesium dissolution rates using ICPEAS.
