Other common alloying elements are tin (which makes the magnesium more castable) and manganese (which can improve resistance to corrosion, something that magnesium is very susceptible to).

The nail wrapped in magnesium is not corroded. There is slight corrosion on the normal nail and massive corrosion on the copper wrapped nail. Connecting a more reactive metal from higher in the ...

Their findings are set to significantly improve the longevity and durability of under-sea structures against their corrosion. A new class of structure in the precipitates of magnesium alloys ...
