Knowledge about the corrosion mechanisms of magnesium alloy (AZ91D) in Ionic Liquids (IL) is of fundamental interest because of the absence of water in these environments which eliminates hydrogen corrosion. Furthermore IL show remarkable properties that make them ideal lubricant materials. The corrosion rate is very slow at room temperature, but becomes much faster at 200 °C. A interaction layer is formed and at least two different processes contribute to its formation: the corrosion of the metals constituting the alloy and the adsorption of IL degradation products.
