Abstract
Commercial magnesium anodes were evaluated using ASTM G 97-89 for a st andard test along with a technique of electrochemical impedance. Sever al heat treatments were performed, and the anodic efficiency was deter mined, showing an incremental increase of 10 to 12 % of the efficiency demonstrated by the nontreated commercial anodes (as-cast condition). The increase in efficiency was related to the microstructural charact eristics. The appearance of second phase particles influenced the form of the corrosion process.
