Abstract
Protection performance of zinc-rich coatings is generally ascribed to sacrificial anode protection and physical shielding derived from corrosion products, neglecting the contribution of zinc fillers’ self-corrosion. This work clarifies the fact that self-corrosion of zinc powders can induce active protection behaviour of zinc-rich coatings by chemical conversion for corrosive media, firstly building “chemical shielding” function, and then enhancing physical shielding protection during the formation of zinc corrosion products. Chemical and physical shielding effects enhance shielding performance of zinc-rich coatings and extend its cathodic protection life. The result is beneficial to enrich protection theory of zinc-rich coatings.
