铈对AZ91镁合金腐蚀性能的影响

Influence of Cerium on Corrosion of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy

利用静态失重法、极化曲线和金相观察研究了Ce对AZ91镁合金在3.5%NaCl（质量分数）水溶液中的腐蚀行为.结果表明,加入少量的Ce（0.2%～0.8%,质量分数）显著降低合金的腐蚀速率,提高合金的平衡电位和腐蚀电位,降低腐蚀电流密度.而且含0.8%Ce的合金具有较好的耐腐蚀性能.腐蚀性能提高的原因主要归结为： Ce加入导致α-Mg晶粒明显细化,Al元素的偏析减轻,块状的β-Mg17Al12相变为非连续网状分布.

Effect of cerium addition on corrosion resistance of AZ91 magnesium alloy was investigated using the static weight loss and polarization curve method as well as metallographical observation. The results indicate that a small amount of cerium （0.2% ～ 0.8%） in AZ91 magnesium alloy can significantly reduce the corrosion rate, enhance the electrode voltage and lower corrosion current density in 3.5%NaCl aqueous solution, and AZ91-0.8%Ce alloy has better corrosion resistant performance. The reason for increasing corrosion resistance is attributed to the addition of Ce, refining the α-Mg grains, reducing the segregation of element Al, and improving the morphologies of β-Mg17 Al12 phases.
