Corrosion and Residual Strength Analysis of High Pressure Die Casting AM Series Mg Alloys.

Higher pressure die casting (HPDC) AM series (Mg-Al-Mn) Mg alloys have wide application potential in the automobile industry. To promote its application, systematic investigation on the corrosion performance and corrosion residual strength of HPDC AM50+1Ce and AM60 was carried out. The corrosion of HPDC AM50+1Ce was more uniform, while the pitting corrosion of AM60 was more severe, and the mechanical properties of HPDC AM60 was more sensitive to corrosion. The residual strength of AM50+1Ce and AM60 after corrosion of 648 h was 199 MPa and 183 MPa, respectively. The findings can contribute to a better understanding of the corrosion and residual strength of HPDC AM series Mg alloys.
