Effects of mixed RE with Y and Nd on corrosion rate of AZ81 magnesium alloy were examined in 3.5% NaCl solution by the static weight-loss tests. Microstructure and corrosion surface morphology of the AZ81 magnesium alloy were observed by OM (optical microscope) and SEM (scanning electron microscope). It is found that with 2% mixed RE with Y and Nd addition
more uniformly distributed structure and composition in the AZ81 magnesium alloy can be observed with the refinement of the grain size
meanwhile
smallest corrosion product in the surface of alloy with homogeneous and compact distribution can be obtained
resulting in the great decrease of corrosion rate
which is responsible for the distinct improvement of corrosion resistance of the AZ81 magnesium alloy.
