TL;DR: There remains growing interest in magnesium (Mg) and its alloys, as they are the lightest structural metallic materials Mg alloys have the potential to enable design of lighter engineered systems, including positive implications for reduced energy consumption as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the corrosion behavior of commercial magnesium/aluminium alloys (AZ31, AZ80 and AZ91D) was investigated by electrochemical and gravimetric tests in 3.5-wt. NaCl at 25-°C.

TL;DR: Mn and Mo were introduced in AISI 304 and 316 stainless steel composition to modify their pitting corrosion resistance in chloride-containing media Corrosion behaviour was investigated using gravimetric tests in 6 ¼wt% FeCl3, as well as potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarization measurements in 35 ¾wt% NaCl Additionally, the mechanism of the corrosion attack developed on the material surface was analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray mapping and energy dispersive Xray (EDX) analysis.

TL;DR: A review of particle-containing PEO coatings formed on Mg, Al and Ti alloy substrates can be found in this article, where the main focus is given to the uptake mechanism of particle into PEO layers and the introduced microstructural and functional changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, optical emission spectroscopy, fast video imaging and coating characterization are employed to investigate AC plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of magnesium alloys and reveal initiation and gradual increase in the number of discharges after 2-4ms of each anodic pulse once a critical voltage was reached.
