Phase-Field Modeling of Pitting and Mechanically Assisted Corrosion
Application ID: 149851
This model describes the corrosion of magnesium (Mg) alloys in physiological environments using a phase-field formulation. The approach couples Mg dissolution kinetics with ionic transport, enabling the transition from activation-controlled to diffusion-controlled regimes to be captured. The formulation allows for the resolution of evolving corrosion fronts in complex 2D and 3D geometries without the need for remeshing.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
