Dissolution behavior of Mg-Al-Cu and Mg-Zn-Cu alloys for fracturing ball applications: A comparative investigation
As-extruded Mg-6Al-1Zn-0.5Cu and Mg-6Zn-0.5Cu alloys with comparable strength were prepared, and their dissolution behaviors in KCl solutions with different Cl − concentrations were investigated for use as fracturing balls. The results of electrochemical and immersion tests consistently demonstrated that Mg-6Al-1Zn...
