Effect of Grain Size on the Corrosion Resistance of Friction Stir Welded Mg Alloy AZ31B Joints
Abstract
The objective of this study was to clarify the effect of grain size on the corrosion rate across friction stir welded AZ31B joints when exposed in aqueous NaCl solutions. Grain size variations were achieved by preparing welded joints using AZ31B in different tempers. Single potentiodynamic polarization measurements made on the isolated base metal and stir zone in 0.6 M NaCl solution revealed no significant difference between the anodic …
