| Summary: | This paper studies the corrosion rate of magnesium alloys AZ31 and AZ61 exposed in humid air under continuous condensation conditions. The shape of the gravimetric curves for corrosion progress suggests that the process is controlled by factors related with the corrosion product layer growing on the metallic surface according to gravimetric results there is an initial period in which only a small part of the corroded metal is incorporated in the corrosion product layer, but after longer testing times the proportion of metal that comes to form part of this layer tends to increase very significantly |
