Abstract
Free corrosion and the galvanostatic anodic behavior of binary magnesi um-zinc alloys in a neutral solution were studied. Alloying with zinc considerably decreases the spontaneous-dissolution rate, especially fo r single-phase alloys because of the formation of oxide films with bet ter protective properties.
