Localized Corrosion of Magnesium in Chloride-Containing Electrolyte Studied by a Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique
Published in an US society journal (Impact factor 2.59, 32 citations), this represents the first use of SVET to elucidate the corrosion mechanism of a technologically important metal. Described in a recent conference (NACE Corrosion 2010) as “the most significant paper in the last 50 years of magnesium corrosion research”, the work has led to collaborations with academics at both Monash (nick.birbilis@eng.monash.edu.au) and McMaster (kishjr@mcmaster.ca) universities (Australia and Canada). Interest generated by the paper led directly to the author being an invited speaker at the highly prestigious 2008 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in aqueous corrosion, (New London, USA).
