METHOD FOR INCREASING THE CORROSION RESISTANCE OF A COMPONENT FORMED OF A MAGNESIUM-BASED ALLOY AGAINST GALVANIC CORROSION, AND CORROSION-RESISTANT COMPONENT OBTAINABLE BY SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for increasing a corrosion resistance of a component formed with a magnesium-based alloy against galvanic corrosion, in particular micro-galvanic corrosion. According to the invention, an increase in a corrosion resistance against galvanic corrosion is achieved in a simple manner in that a surface layer of the component having a predefined thickness, which surface layer is formed with the magnesium-based alloy, is heated in order to configure the surface layer with a homogenized solid solution phase, whereupon the surface layer is cooled such that the surface layer is formed with a supersaturated solid solution phase. The invention furthermore relates to a corrosion-resistant component which is obtainable by a method of this type.
