摘要
The as-cast microstructure, phase composition and surface corrosion morphologies of AZ31-xCu(x=0, 0.5, 1.5, 3, mass fraction, %) alloys were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The corrosion behavior of the alloys in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated by immersion test and electrochemical test. The results indicate that the content of AlCuMg phase, main secondary phase in the Cu-containing alloys, is positively dependent on copper concentration. Acceleration of corrosion rate is found in Cu-containing alloys due to micro-galvanic corrosion. AlCuMg phase acts as micro-galvanic cathode against anodic magnesium matrixes. The corrosion rate of the alloy with Cu content of 3% is the fastest. The AZ31-3Cu alloy exhibits the maximum hydrogen evolution rate of 275 mL/(cm2∙d-1) and corrosion current density of 698 μA/cm2. © 2019, Science Press. All right reserved.
