The corrosion process of InMg alloy and the conversion of corrosion products by annealing in vacuum have been investigated by X-ray powder diffraction and energy-dispersive spectroscopy methods. The crystalline indium phase and an amorphous phase with a composition corresponding to the formula of the mineral pokrovskite (Mg(OH) 2 MgCO 3 0.5H 2 O) were found as corrosion products. Their further conversion during annealing in vacuum at various temperatures was examined. The experimental corrosion data for AuCu(I) and InMg were compared.
