A solid-contact Mg2+ ion-selective microelectrode allowed in situ monitoring of the corrosion reactions sites for magnesium dissolution from different zones of the FSW weld upon exposure to a chloride-containing aqueous environment. In this way, localized corrosion reactions developing in the galvanically coupled joint/heat affected zones (WJ/HAZ) of the weld were detected and imaged with spatial resolution. The most active domains for local Mg2+ concentrations were associated with the HAZ of the retreating side (RS), and these corresponded to Mg oxidation from the Mg-enriched oxide bands in NSDL.1-7openAccessaluminium alloysfriction weldinglayersmagnesium ionselectrodesArtigo de periódico42710.1016/j.electacta.2022.1408730000-0002-4987-3334https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4987-33347590
