Zusammenfassung:A corrodible downhole article includes a magnesium alloy, including: a strengthening metallic element comprising at least one of Al, Zn, Mn, Cu and Ag and at least one corrosion promoting element in an amount of 0.01-10 wt % in total. The alloy has a corrosion rate of at least at least 75 mg/cm2/day in 15% KC1 at 93° C. and a 0.2% proof strength of at least 100MPa when tested using standard tensile test method ASTM B557-10. In particular, the magnesium alloy includes 5-10 wt % Al, and at least one of Zn and Mn in a total amount ranging from 0 to 1.0 wt %.
