摘要
Corrosion behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy in NH4NO3- containing chloride solution was investigated by immersion tests, hydrogen evolution collection, electrochemical measurements, and microscopic observation. Addition of NH4NO3 accelerates corrosion due to the deterioration of Mg(OH)(2) by NH4+ and the promotion of cathodic NO3- reaction, which is supported by the buffering effect of NH4+. Hydrogen evolution is suppressed with addition of high concentrations of NH4NO3, attributed to the preferential occurrence of NO3- reduction. Loose and cracked corrosion products, which are mainly composed of Mg-2(OH)(3)Cl center dot 4H(2)O and magnesium hydroxy carbonates, form in the NH4NO3-containing environment. When the NH4NO3 concentration is between 0.005 and 0.03M, autocatalytic pitting corrosion occurs due to the synergistic effects of Cl-, NH4+, and NO3- at the specific concentration range. The H+ (supplied by NH4+ hydrolysis), Cl- in combination with the depolarization effect of NO3- support the autocatalytic growth and eventually perforate the alloy. With the addition of NH4NO3 higher than 0.05 M, corrosion pits with shallow-dish shape form initially and then evolves into general corrosion, because general corrosion is promoted by the decrease of solution pH, suppression of Mg(OH)(2) precipitation, and enhancement of cathodic reactions.
