TLDR
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".Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to provide a succinct but nevertheless complete mechanistic overview of the various types of magnesium corrosion. The understanding of the corrosion processes of magnesium alloys builds upon our understanding of the corrosion of pure magnesium. This provides an understanding of the types of corrosion exhibited by,magnesium alloys, and also of the environmental factors Of most importance. This deep understanding is required as a foundation if we are to produce magnesium alloys much more resistant to corrosion than the present alloys. Much has already been achieved, but there is vast scope for improvement. This present analysis can provide a foundation and a theoretical framework for further, much needed research. 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.read more

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.

MgZnCa glasses without clinically observable hydrogen evolution for biodegradable implants
TL;DR: The glassy Mg(60+x)Zn(35-x)Ca5 (0 < or = x = or = 7) alloys show great potential for deployment in a new generation of biodegradable implants, and animal studies confirm the great reduction in hydrogen evolution and reveal the same good tissue compatibility as seen for crystalline Mg implants.

Measurement of the corrosion rate of magnesium alloys using Tafel extrapolation
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.
