The composition of Fe-rich particles, corrosion surface morphology, and molecular structure of 3-MeSA provide experimental and theoretical evidence for the corrosion behavior of Fe-contained Mg alloy and the corresponding cathodic inhibition mechanism of 3-MeSA. The results showed that silicon in a solid solution within Fe-rich particles was found, and the features of corrosion spots may correlate with different Fe/Si ratios. Although 3-MeSA can form an adsorptive layer on Mg substrate, its inhibition mechanism can be mainly ascribed to the capability to chelate Fe2+/Fe3+ ions released from self-corrosion of Fe-rich particles, preventing the re-deposition of the reduced Fe species.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/S1003-6326(24)66486-1} (DOI).
