摘要

The atmospheric corrosion behaviour of cast and high pressure die-cast AZ91D alloy in a polluted environment were investigated by SEM, XRD and FTIR. The atmospheric corrosion rate of the ingot was higher than that of the die-cast specimen. SO2 gas played an important role in atmospheric corrosion. The effects of dew condensation on the ingot were greater than that on the die-cast specimen. The corrosion was initiated in the less noble alpha phase of the samples. The beta phase, on the other hand, remained and acted as a barrier to corrosion.
