Abstract

Investigations were made into the fatigue in the magnesium alloy AZ 91C cast in corrosive fluids and air at varied NaCl solution concentrations. Fatigue specimens will be subjected to surface stress testing in corrosive conditions with a stress amplitude of 75 MPa both after and before coating. To comprehend the behavior of the magnesium material, its fatigue life, corrosion product (X-ray spectra), and fracture properties will be examined. The corroding medium (NaCl) has been found to significantly shorten the fatigue life of the magnesium alloy AZ91C. Chemical conversion treatment was applied to the AZ91C alloy to improve corrosion resistance and corrosion fatigue resistance. MgSnO3 was found in the XRD patterns of the stannite-treated AZ91C alloy, and this treatment slightly improved the alloy’s corrosion resistance in an alkaline stannite solution with a pH of 7. H2O and SEM images demonstrate that chloride ions can penetrate the substrate through porous structures.

Keywords: magnesium alloy, corrosion resistance, fatigue life, Chemical conversion treatment
