As-cast Mg−6Al−5Pb and Mg−6Al−5Pb−0.5Mn alloys with different additions of Al−15%Mn (mass fraction), Al−30%Mn and Al−50%Mn master alloys were prepared by melting and casting. Their microstructures were observed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties, hydrogen evolution and mass loss of Mg−6Al−5Pb−0.5Mn alloys were studied. The results show that Mg−6Al−5Pb−0.5Mn alloy added with Al−50%Mn master alloy provides more negative corrosion average potential (−1.66 V), smaller corrosion current density (7 μm/cm2) and lower free corrosion rate (0.51 mg·cm−2·h−1) than other alloys. This is probably attributed to the presence of Al Mn phase, which facilitates the self-peeling of corrosion products and enlarges the electrochemical 11 4 reaction area as well as enhances the electrochemical activity. Key words: Al−Mn; master alloy; Mg−Al−Pb−Mn; hydrogen evolution; corrosion; seawater activated batteries magnesium alloys.
