A1 - Adeva, Paloma T1 - Influence of long period stacking ordered phase arrangements on thecorrosion behaviour of extruded Mg97Y2Zn1 alloy JF - Corrosion Science N2 - The influence of second phase arrangements on the corrosion resistance of extruded Mg97Y2Zn1 alloy has been evaluated in a 0.1 M NaCl solution. The microstructure of the alloy consists of a high volume fraction of coarse elongated particles of a long period stacking ordered phase aligned along the extrusion direction. Corrosion rate of transversal sections is lower than that of longitudinal sections. Such difference is attributed to the different orientation of second phases in longitudinal and transversal sections. The corrosion front advances mainly perpendicular to the surface in transversal samples while perpendicular and lateral growth occur in longitudinal samples KW - passive films KW - Magnesium alloys KW - anodic dissolution PY - 2016 DO - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.corsci.2016.02.024 SN - 0010-938X VL - 107 SP - 107 EP - 112 PB - Elsevier Ltd.
