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: A phenomenological model for the dissolution of Mg encompassing the current opinion of many researchers is presented in this paper, where a bilayered MgO/Mg(OH)2 film forms on Mg, appearing as a dark region on visual inspection.

TL;DR: In this article, the corrosion properties of compositionally complex alloys (inclusive of high-entropy alloys) are discussed, and aspects of the status and needs are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was elucidated that an austenitic stainless steel (type 316L) when manufactured through selective laser melting was able to be produced without MnS inclusions and hence with no accompanying Cr-depletion in the vicinity of MnS, resulting in superior corrosion resistance relative to wrought form.

TL;DR: In this paper, the corrosion characteristics of additively manufactured stainless steel 316L were investigated by both potentiodynamic and potentiostatic techniques and the pitting potentials, metastable pitting rates and repassivation potentials of the 3D printed specimens were presented as a function of the laser scan speed and laser power, and also discussed in the context of specimen porosity.
