Corrosion triggered self-passivation of magnesium alloys

该项目旨在通过前所未有的自钝化机制（类似于不锈钢），在工程服务中持续保护镁合金免受水腐蚀。该项目有望通过高通量筛选和原子尺度的原位腐蚀表征，在腐蚀环境中镁合金钝化机制领域产生新的知识。这将带来显著的好处，例如使科学战略能够首次亮相，以改变镁合金市场的最终用途（如电动汽车行业），能源构成和排放，这具有重大的工业利益，因为它将提供最小化碳足迹的新机会。

This project aims to sustainably protect magnesium alloys from aqueous corrosion in engineering services through an unprecedented self-passivation mechanism (analogues to stainless steel). This project is expected to generate new knowledge in the area of passivation mechanisms for magnesium alloys in corrosive environments through high-throughput screening and in-situ corrosion characterisation at atomic scale. This should provide significant benefits, such as enabling the debut of a scientific strategy to transform the magnesium alloy market with respect to end use (such as electric car industry), energy composition and emissions, which has significant industrial interest as it will provide new opportunities to minimise carbon footprint.
