The corrosion and discharge behavior of two alpha-Mg based Mg-Li alloys with different microstructural features were investigated. Grain boundaries were found to contribute equally to these processes and were preferentially attacked. The LAZ531 alloy showed high and steady discharge voltage at small discharge current density.
The corrosion behavior at open circuit potential (OCP) and discharge properties under applied anodic currents of two alpha-Mg based Mg-Li alloys, i.e., LAZ131 and LAZ531, with different microstructural features for primary Mg-air batteries are investigated. The results show that the grain boundaries contribute equally to the corrosion and discharge processes, which are attacked preferentially than the grain interiors and accelerate the dissolution processes of alpha-Mg based Mg-Li alloys. The (10-10)/(11-20) orientated grains are attacked preferentially than the (0002) orientated grains on the corrosion and discharge process. The increased corrosion rate and improved discharge properties are attributed to the refinement of grain size, decreased content of (0002) orientated grains and increased content of (10-10)/(11-20) orientated grains. Of those, the LAZ531 alloy possesses high and steady discharge voltage at small discharge current density for long time, with the values of 1.4801 Vat 2.5 mA cm(-2) and 1.3742 V at 10 mA cm(-2).
