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: By utilising its rapid corrosion reaction and controlling its degradation process through Zn and Mn alloying, purification and anodization, chemically active magnesium can be developed into a biodegradable biocompatible implant material with a specific biodegradation process and tolerable hydrogen evolution rate.

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: The Cooperative Research Centre for Cast Metals Manufacturing (CAST) in Australia is one of the most active research organizations in the world established to cope with the problems associated with the development and application of advanced light metals.
