The increase in the rate of hydrogen evolution (HE) on dissolving Mg surfaces with increasing anodic current density or potential, which is sometimes called the negative difference effect, has been the topic of much discussion in recent years. A review of the very recent contributions to this subject is given in this paper. Increased catalytic activity of the corrosion product layer, either from the accumulated impurities or from the Mg oxy-hydroxide itself, is shown to have a minor influence on the anodic HE observed on dissolving Mg at high anodic current densities and potentials. Al exhibits similar characteristics during anodic polarization in concentrated HCl, although the anodic HE rate on Al is less than on Mg. Possible mechanisms for the anodic hydrogen are provided and implications in the area of intergranular corrosion and environmental cracking are discussed.
About Me
Santiago Fajardo is a Ramón y Cajal Research Fellow at the CENIM-CSIC since 2021. Graduated in Chemistry, he completed his PhD on the corrosion of stainless steel under the supervision of Prof. J.M. Bastidas in the Department of Surface Engineering, Corrosion and Durability (ISCD) at the CENIM-CSIC. In 2014 he joined the Fontana Corrosion Center at the Ohio State University as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Gerald S. Frankel. While at OSU, Dr. Fajardo consolidated a new research line on dissolving Mg surfaces. His primary interest is in advanced light alloys, and more specifically, he leads a research line on the dissolution mechanisms of Mg alloys and the anomalous behavior of hydrogen evolution on dissolving Mg surfaces. He is author of 43 scientific papers, 5 book chapters, and several scientific-technical reports. He has participated in 14 R&D projects (3 as PI). His articles have received 1410 citations, and his h-index is 19.
