Towards a Physical Description of the Role of Germanium in Moderating Cathodic Activation of Magnesium
Abstract
The role played by surface film formation in moderating cathodic activation (i.e., H2 evolution associated with anodic dissolution in NaCl [aq]) was determined for an Mg-0.3Ge (wt%) alloy and contrasted with this process in pure Mg. Cathodic activation was not detected using the scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) during anodic dissolution of the Mg-0.3Ge alloy under either freely corroding or anodic polarization conditions. Filament …
