The MgCl2-contained salt is considered as one of the candidates for the solar thermal energy storage applications. To protect the structural alloy from corrosion, the addition of Mg as corrosion inhibitor was investigated. Several physical properties such as density, viscosity, vapor pressure and thermal conductivity of MgCl2 with different amount of Mg additions are studied in this paper. A slight variation of density and viscosity while the increase in vapor pressure and large increase of thermal conductivity were observed with the addition of Mg to MgCl2 salt mixtures.
