Corrosion behaviour of friction stir welded Mg alloy joints for automotive applications
Abstract
As a light-weight structural material for use in automotive industry, magnesium (Mg) alloys offer significant weight reduction and environmental benefits. However, due to a high chemical and electrochemical activity, Mg has poor corrosion resistance in chloride-containing aqueous environments. The multi-national Mg front end research and development (MFERD) project has been established to identify and overcome many of the technical problems …
