Tailoring the corrosion behavior and mechanism of Mg-Gd-Zn alloys via Sc microalloying

The Sc microalloying can decrease the corrosion rates of Mg-Gd-Zn alloys by about two orders of magnitude, and thus significantly improving corrosion resistance of Mg-Gd-Zn alloys. Notably, the Sc microalloying can inhibit the precipitation of (Mg, Zn)3Gd phase with high potential while promote the...
