Local alkalisation and corrosion induced by the dissolution of Mg and Mg-based phases: in situ and real-time studies

Key Points

• Local alkalisation is observed during the dissolution of Mg, significantly affecting corrosion rates.
• Real-time studies reveal dynamic interactions between Mg dissolution and environmental factors over time.
• In situ techniques were employed to monitor the corrosion process, offering detailed insights into the behavior of Mg phases.
• Understanding these processes may lead to improved material design and enhanced durability in applications.
