Magnesium (Mg) alloys are light, structural and functional engineering materials with a high strength to weight ratio which are increasingly being used in the automotive, aerospace, and electronic and energy industries. However, magnesium is chemically active with an electrochemistry differing from most conventional engineering metals. This review provided some recent progress of the research on corrosion mechanisms of magnesium and its alloys and a basis for follow on research. Galvanic corrosion, pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion, filiform corrosion, and crevice corrosion were discussed. Additionally there is a review of coatings for magnesium alloys and an analysis of alloys and coatings. Finally it recommends an option for a future coating that may prove to be the best coating for long lasting corrosion resistant parts.
