Abstract
The passive behavior of magnesium alloys ZK31, EZ33 and WE54 was studied in alkaline media (NaOH – pH 13) in the presence and absence of chloride ions. The electrochemical properties were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and capacitance measurements.
