Resumen

Se emplearon medidas electroquímicas y gravimétricas para examinar el efecto de la adición de neodimio y gadolinio en el comportamiento a la corrosión galvánica de las aleaciones AM50 y AZ91D en contacto con acero al carbono A 570 Gr 36 y aleaciones de aluminio AA2011 y AA6082. Las aleaciones modificadas con tierras raras mostraron intermetálicos Al2Nd/Al2Gd y Al-Mn-Nd/Al-Mn-Gd, menor fracción de fase β-Mg17Al12 y un incremento de la resistencia a la corrosión debido al aumento de la pasividad de la superficie y a la eliminación de micro pares galvánicos. Las adiciones de neodimio y gadolinio mejoraron la resistencia a la corrosión galvánica de la aleación AM50, pero fueron menos efectivas en el caso de la aleación AZ91D. La aleación AA6082 fue el material más compatible y la aleación AA2011 el menos compatible.
