Abstract

The high corrosion resistance afforded by Zn + 5wt.% Al coatings is further improved by low level additions of Mg in the galvanizing bath. The effect of Mg additions on the microstructure and on the properties of the coatings has been investigated. Phase field modelling was used to simulate the influence of Mg on the eutectic microstructure. Experimental results on the effect of Mg on the ductility and on the corrosion resistance of the coating are also reported.
