Corrosion of Magnesium Alloy ZK60A in Marine Atmosphere and Tidewater

Description: "The corrosion resistance of unprotected magnesium-zinc-zirconium alloy ZK60A was determined in a marine atmosphere and in tidewater. The unprotected alloy was so rapidly attacked in tidewater that it would be of no practical value in applications subject to wetting by sea water. In the marine atmosphere the rate of corrosion was much less and the alloy should give good service if adequately protected" (p. 1).
