By adding 3% Ca in AZ91D, the reticular phase on grain boundaries formed and the corrosion rate decreased to 14.1% of the AZ91D corrosion rate in NaCl solution. The corrosion morphologies showed that the reticular phase effectively confined the development of corrosion from grain to grain and hence significantly reduc…
