Corrosion of cast magnesium-yttrium (Y) alloys with systematic Y additions up to a nominal 18wt.% were studied. Corrosion performance was related to the quantitative alloy microstructure and found to increase significantly with the level of alloying and volume fraction of the Mg-Y intermetallic present. In the alloy microstructures, Mg24Y5 was principally formed; the electrochemistry of which was characterised using the electrochemical microcell method. Electrochemical testing revealed the fundamental corrosion behaviour of Mg-Y alloys and elucidated the corrosion mechanisms at play. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
