Abstract

ZnAl coatings are known to provide reliable corrosion protection for low-grade structural steels in most environments. Depending on the coating process, different phase compositions can be observed in such coatings. In case of thermal spraying, the high cooling rates were proven to result in the formation of metastable β-ZnAl for the first time in literature. To assess the influence on the corrosion behaviour, β-ZnAl and α-η-ZnAl samples were produced and corroded in a salt spray test. A pronounced influence of the phase composition on the formation of layered double hydroxides was observed.
