摘要

This study explores the corrosion behavior of cast AZ92 magnesium alloy modified with 0–3.0 wt% Y2O3 produced by a stir casting process in 3.5% NaCl solution, both with and without inhibitors 0.01 mg/L AgNO3, 0.01 mg/L Ce(NO3)3, and 0.01 mg/L Mo(NO3)2. A novel approach combining gravimetric analysis, electrochemical techniques (EIS, polarization), and response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize corrosion resistance (CRST). Results reveal that 2.5 wt% Y2O3 provides the lowest corrosion rate (0.80 mm/y) when Ce(NO3)3 present, which is attributed to refinement of β-phase. SEM confirmed compact Mg(OH)2-rich surface films, while RSM identified Y2O3 content as the most influential factor (F = 531.18, p = 0.000), followed by time and media. Electrochemical tests showed enhanced polarization resistance (up to 1901.7 Ω) and stable passive films at 1.5–2.5 wt% Y2O3. However, higher Y2O3 levels reduced protection due to film instability and agglomeration. The synergistic role of Y2O3 and Ce(NO3)3 was most effective, with optimal conditions predicted by RSM. These findings provide a promising corrosion control strategy using rare earth oxides and multivariate optimization.
