Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and energy dispersive spectrometry were employed to characterize the microstructures and the corroded surface of the above alloys. The results demonstrate that the microstructure of the Mg-2%Ga alloy is solid solution and the Mg-2%Hg and Mg-2%Hg-2%Ga alloys have white second-phases at the grain boundaries. The Mg-2%Ga alloy has the worst electrochemical activity and the best corrosion resistance, showing a mean potential of -1.48 V and a corrosion current density of 0.15 mA/cm2. The Mg-2%Hg-2%Ga alloy has the best electrochemical activity and the worst corrosion resistance, showing a mean potential of -1.848 V and a corrosion current density of 2.136 mA/cm2. The activation mechanism of the Mg-Hg-Ga alloy is dissolution-deposition of the Hg and Ga atoms.展开更多

Their electrochemical activations in different electrolyte solutions were investigated by galvanostatic test. The microstructures of these alloys and their corroded surfaces were studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and emission spectrum analysis. The results show that the activation of magnesium is not prominent when only aluminum or lead exists in the magnesium matrix, but the coexistence of the two elements can increase the activation. The activation mechanism of Mg-Al-Pb alloy is dissolving-reprecipitating and there is a synergistic effect between aluminium and lead： the precipitated lead oxides on the surface of the alloy can facilitate the precipitation of Al（OH）3, which can peel the Mg（OH）2 film in the form of 2Mg（OH）2AI（OH）3 and activate the magnesium matrix.展开更多
