Magnesium as a sacrificial material to protect aluminum

Does anyone know of research work related to the use of magnesium as a sacrificial material to protect aluminum from corrosion. I have heard of a product in Japan called ZAM (Zinc, aluminum, magnesium). I am interested in this concept and finding out more about this research and the researchers.

I also would like to make contact with the supplier of this material if it exists.
