Abstract
ABSTRACT A good combination of mechanical properties and corrosion performance is desired when employing Mg alloys in engineering applications. Therefore, it is essential to investigate both the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of processed Mg alloys to determine the optimum combinations of materials properties. This study investigates the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of AZ91 (Mg
