Magnesium is known to suffer rapidly from damaging corrosion due to its position in the galvanic series, the potentially rapid and thermodynamically very favorable reaction with water, and the high solubility of magnesium hydroxide. Therefore once active, corrosion can lead to rapid failure of a magnesium component.
