Effects of Variations in Salt-Spray Conditions on the Corrosion Mechanisms of an AE44 Magnesium Alloy
Figure 8
2D Laser Profilometry of the AE44 coupons arranged by test condition based on cycle number. The blue colors correspond to the lowest surface values, while the pink colors represent the highest surface values. Notice the increasing amount of intergranular corrosion following each cycle, as denoted by an increase in the connecting blue areas and a decrease in the red peaks.
