ملخص المقالة :

In this study, the effects of forming method (extrusion) and environmental factors (solution pH and temperature) on the corrosion performance of AZ91 magnesium alloys were investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and salt spray techniques. The polarization test results of the specimens showed that simple shear extrusion (SSE) process have adverse effect on the samples corrosion behavior in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution and corrosion current densities increased by increasing temperature/ decreasing pH of the solution. Moreover, the EIS test results showed that the increase in temperature or acidity of the solution led to decrease in charge-transfer resistance (Rct) at the electrode/solution interface for both as-cast and SSEed samples. In addition, the weight loss measurements, based on the salt spray test results, revealed that normally extruded samples have better corrosion performance than as-cast and SSEed ones which is in accordance with the electrochemical test results.
