Effect of the Sodium Silicate Inhibitor on the Corrosion Protection of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy.

The effect of the sodium silicate inhibitor on the corrosion protection of the AZ31 magnesium alloy at room temperature was investigated. The results of electrochemical measurement and weight loss experiments showed that incorporating the sodium silicate significantly enhanced the anti-corrosion property of the AZ31 alloy. When the alloy was immersed in the corrosive solution with the 0.
