Sources of copper are coatings on used magnesium parts or aluminium alloy contaminations in Mg scrap. Therefore, it is important for the development of secondary magnesium alloys to understand the effects of copper in the microstructure of magnesium AZ based alloys and how this influences the corrosion resistance.
