Turning native Mg alloy surface into protective coating. a TEM images of two Mg pillars (as-FIBed Mg pillar and the pillar treated in CO2) before and after immersion in deionized water for 3 min. b Only half of the ZK 60 Mg alloy pillar was irradiated by e-beam in CO2. The treated top half part was well protected from the aqueous environment and remained intact, as evidenced by the inset diffraction pattern, while the lower half was corroded seriously. Halos in the inset diffraction pattern indicate amorphous corrosion product. Scale bars: a 100 nm, b 200 nm
