Abstract
Both creep and corrosion resistances are significant problems in the applic ation of magnesium alloys. The synergistic effect of corrosion and stress o n the viscoelasticity of magnesium alloys named corrosion creep has been st udied in die-cast AZ91D (Mg-9%Al-1%Zn) and AM50 (Mg-5% Al-0.4% Mn) alloys i n air and in the berate buffer solution. The highest sensitivity to creep i n the corrosive environment is observed in the alloy with the highest Al co ntent. An electrochemical study under a tensile strain demonstrates a good correlation with corrosion creep tests. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
