Abstract

Heretofore, recognitions of the systematic effects of scandium addition on corrosion behavior of biodegradable magnesium alloys are not yet clear. In the present study, a series of Mg–1.5Zn–0.6Zr–xSc (ZK21–xSc, x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 wt.%) alloys were casted and investigated with respect to the immersion and electrochemical degradation behavior. The hydrogen evolution, pH monitoring, ion release and mass loss results demonstrated that ZK21–0.2Sc alloy exhibited the lowest corrosion rate. The surface morphology analyses displayed that an obvious uniform corrosion occurred in ZK21–xSc alloys with Sc content below 0.5, while localized corrosion occurred in ZK21–1.0Sc alloy. Corrosion potentials of ZK21–xSc alloys shifted toward more positive with the increasing Sc content. But ZK21–0.2Sc alloy exhibited the lowest corrosion current density and the largest corrosion film resistance. Compared with other developed Mg alloys, the ZK21–0.2Sc alloy demonstrated a superior degradation behavior.
