Abstract

The microstructure and corrosion behavior of high pressure die-cast (HPDC) and super vacuum die-cast (SVDC) AM60B magnesium alloys were investigated in a complex salt solution using slow positron beam technique and potentiodynamic polarization tests. The experiments revealed that a CaCO₃ film was formed on the surface of the alloys and that the rate of CaCO₃ formation for the SVDC alloy with immersion time was slower than that of the HPDC alloy. The larger volume fraction of β-phase in the skin layer of the SVDC alloy than that of the HPDC alloy was responsible for the better corrosion resistance.
