The alloys were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and surface potential maps. In Nd-containing alloys, formation of Al2Nd and Al–Mn–Nd intermetallic compounds reduced the volume fraction and modified the morphology of the b-Mg17Al12 phase. The addition of Nd improved the corrosion resistance of the alloys due to increased passivity of the surface film and suppression of micro-galvanic couples.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.corsci.2011.10.033 Get rights and contenthttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010938X11005968open access620MagnesiumPolarizationWeight lossPitting corrosionMateriales3303 Ingeniería y Tecnología Químicas
