In this article, the results of studying the polarization characteristics of magnesium covered with corrosion film in aqueous solutions of MgSO<sub>4</sub> and Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> are presented. The absence of a corrosion-free magnesium surface was shown; in this connection, it was proposed to interpret the larger values of Tafel’s coefficients obtained in the experiment from the point of view of limiting the electrochemical process by charge transfer in the film phase. Charge transfer in corrosion films obeys the regularities of particle movement in high electric fields, and it is not only cationic. According to the impedance measurements, the resistance of the oxide and hydroxide layer of the magnesium-based corrosion film in the studied solutions was calculated. The largest contribution to the restriction of charge transfer in the initial stages of corrosion is made by a dense primary film defining the polarization resistance. Correlation of transfer parameters in high electric fields with thickness and resistance of corrosion film was demonstrated.
