Electrochemical properties of fine-grained AZ31 magnesium alloy

Abstract The influence of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on the microstructure changes of magnesium alloy AZ31 was investigated. The microstructure changes were correlated with electrochemical characteristics of the surface. Eight passes of ECAP resulted in significant grain refinement (factor 100) of the initial squeeze-cast (SC) alloy. The influence of microstructure changes on electrochemical properties of the surface was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The variation of electrochemical characteristics of the surface of the SC and ECAP alloy was determined after 3 and 7-day exposure in the corrosion solution of 0.1 M NaCl. The fine-grained deformed structure after ECAP was found to have significantly higher charge transfer resistance as compared to the squeeze-cast material.
