Abstract
In the paper the results of corrosion resistance tests on ZnAlMg alloys used as batch hot dip galvanizing baths are presented. The tests were carried out on ZnAl alloys with 7 wt.% Al with the addition of 3 wt.% and 6 wt.% Mg. Corrosion resistance of tested alloys was compared with corrosion resistance of the traditional zinc bath alloy. Corrosion resistance of the alloys was defined by comparative methods in two standard corrosion tests in neutral salt spray and in moist atmosphere containing SO2. Electrochemical parameters of the corrosion process were determined on the basis of potentiodynamic tests. It was determined that the alloy of ZnAl7 has better corrosion resistance than the corrosion resistance of the alloy of a traditional zinc bath and that the addition of Mg to the alloy increases the corrosion resistance.
