Abstract [en]
The corrosion behaviour of pure zinc and zinc-magnesium-aluminium alloy (ZMA) has been studied during 6months of exposure in marine environment (Brest, France). The composition of corrosion products is analysed using infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). An improved corrosion resistance of ZMA is observed. This improvement is found to be connected to Mg2+ and Al3+ induced quenching of corrosion activity and to the enhancement of NaZn4Cl(OH)6SO4ยท6H2O in the formed corrosion product.
