Hot Dip Galvanizing Of Zn-Al-WO3 Coating On Mild Steel: Effect Of Surface Treatment

Traditionally, galvanizing has been used to protect steel from corrosion. Although galvanized layers may be able to protect steel substrate from atmospheric corrosion, they may not be able to provide a long-term corrosion protection in highly aggressive environments. The aim of this project is to de...
