Some investigations on the pitting attack of magnesium and its alloys; Contribution a l'etude de la corrosion par piqures du magnesium et de ses alliages

Abstract

The pitting attack of magnesium and its alloys has been studied by means of potentio-kinetic polarisation curves; the following parameters have been considered: structural state and composition of the metal, chloride concentration and pH of the medium. The electrochemical data obtained demonstrate that when pH = 12, a localized corrosion might appear as soon as a 10{sup -3} M NaCl concentration is reached; on the other hand, when pH = 13, a much higher concentration (five times) has no effect. In the same conditions, the coupling of magnesium with various noble materials (graphite, platinum, 18/10 stainless steel) also dramatically increases its susceptibility to pitting, but only when chloride ions are present in the solution. Usual corrosion tests have confirmed these electrochemical results. A micrographic study of the pits has shown that their morphology is connected with the metallurgical state of the specimens.

De ces mesures electrochimiques on deduit qu'a pH 12, des la concentration 10{sup -3} M en NaCl, il existe un risque de corrosion localisee, tandis qu'a pH 13 une concentration cinq fois plus forte doit etre sans effet. Dans les memes conditions on montre que le couplage du magnesium avec differents elements nobles (graphite, platine, acier inoxydable 18/10) accroit fortement sa susceptibilite a l'attaque par piqures, excepte dans les solutions exemptes d'ions chlorures. Des essais classiques de corrosion dans les differentes solutions envisagees precedemment confirment les resultats de cette etude electrochimique. L'examen micrographique des piqures montre que leur morphologie est liee a l'etat metallurgique des echantillons. (auteur)}
