Abstract

The paper orders the current state of knowledge concerning the effect of hydrogen on stress corrosion of magnesium alloys. This review describes phenomena and mechanisms connected with stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in commonly used magnesium alloys from Mg-Al-Zn system. In addition, some information about SCC in alloys from Mg-Y-RE-Zr and Mg-Al-RE systems is described. It seems that microstructural factors (e.g., matrix α-Mg and intermetallic phases) related to the presence of Y, Zr and rare earth elements (RE) plays an essential role in hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC).
