TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the recent literature to further examine the electrochemical measurement hypothesis for Mg and found that the corrosion of Mg alloys can be adequately estimated using Tafel extrapolation of the polarisation curve.

TL;DR: A review of recent developments in the field of Mg corrosion and putting those into context is provided in this paper, which includes considerations of corrosion manifestations, material influences, surface treatment, anodization, coating, inhibition, biodegradable medical applications, stress corrosion cracking, flammability, corrosion mechanisms for HP Mg, critical evaluation of corrosion mechanisms, and concluding remarks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of microstructure, particularly the morphology of the β-phase, on the corrosion of Mg alloys has been studied using AZ91 as a model Mg alloy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of pH and chloride ion concentration on the corrosion behavior of ZE41 was studied using immersion tests and electrochemical measurements, and it was shown that the fraction of film free surface increases with decreasing bulk pH and with increasing chloride ion concentrations.

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the aspects which determine the corrosion of Mg alloys: measurement details; impurity elements Fe, Ni, Cu and Co; second phases; surface films and surface condition and (v) stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
