Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate resistance to galvanic corrosion of magnesium alloys AZ61 and AZ80. Resistance to galvanic corrosion was evaluated with additional application of aluminium alloy 2017A and 8Mn2Si steel as reference materials. The tests were carried out by means of potentiostat VoltaLab PGP 201 by Radiometer with application of Evans method. The tests were carried out in the solution with concentration of 0.01 M NaCl in ambient temperature. For comparison, the relations of the surface of magnesium alloys to aluminium alloys and steel (1:1, 5:1 and 10:1) was differentiated in the experiment. It was proved that AZ80 alloy features slightly higher corrosion resistance in contact with aluminium alloy and steel.
