Corrosion behavior and protective ability of multilayer Galvanic coatings of Zn and Zn–Mn alloys in sulfate containing medium
The corrosion resistance and protective ability of electrodeposited coatings of Zn, Zn–Mn(6%) and Zn–Mn(11%) alloys as well as of chromated and non-chromated multilayer galvanic systems were investigated in a free aerated medium of 1N Na 2SO 4 (pH 6.0) at open circuit conditions (OCP– E corr) using...
