The subject of this thesis was the use of sodium molybdate as a corrosion inhibitor for the AZ31 magnesium alloy. Experiments were conducted in a 0.15 M NaCl solution and in culture media of various compositions. The corrosion resistance of the AZ31 alloy at various inhibitor concentrations was evaluated using the potentiodynamic polarization method and compared with a blank for the given environments. Furthermore, weekly immersion tests were conducted in 0.15 M NaCl to determine the mass loss of the samples. Subsequently, an analysis of morphology and elemental composition was performed using SEM-EDS on the surface and cross-sections, which, together with Raman microscopy, confirmed the formation of a protective layer based on molybdenates. The sample containing 200 mM sodium molybdate exhibited the best corrosion properties according to potentiodynamic polarization in 0.15 M NaCl, both at 1 h and 24 h measurements. Tests in the culture medium were conducted to verify the hypothesis that molybdate can also act as an inhibitor in this environment. The original composition of the culture medium, when molybdate was added, led to the formation of a white precipitate or coating. FTIR and EDS analysis of the precipitate showed that it was CaMoO₄. The culture medium was therefore depleted of calcium ions, and experiments demonstrated that molybdate exhibits an inhibitory effect even in this environment, with a concentration of 50 mM molybdate appearing to be optimal.

Student při obhajobě práce na téma Inhibice koroze hořčíkové slitiny vlivem molybdenanu nejdříve představil teoretické pozadí své práce a pokračoval motivací. Dále představil experiment a použité metody. Poté postupně shrnul výsledky jednotlivých testů. Student pak odpovídal na otázky oponenta: 1)Pokud byste měl komplexně shrnout výsledky diplomové práce, jaký je podle Vás mechanismus inhibičního působení molybdenanu na Mg slitině? V práci toto není nikde shrnuto do jasného celku. 2)Proč se u NaCl inhibiční účinnost mezi 200 a 400 mM molybdenanu už dále nezvyšuje? 3)Jak by přítomnost mikroorganismů v kultivačním médiu mohla ovlivnit stabilitu molybdenanové ochranné vrstvy vzniklé na povrchu slitiny? Komise poté položila následující otázky: 1) Jak by se definoval inhibiční koeficient? 2) S čím v práci souvisel L-cystein? Na dané otázky diplomant velmi dobře odpověděl.
