Cut-edge corrosion was similar for all coating weights due to the ORR becoming diffusion-limited. A 64% reduction in surface corrosion was observed for high coating weights through increases in eutectic volume fraction. Spatial and temporal corrosion mechanisms were controlled by microstructural morphological differences as coating weight varied. 80 g.m-2 coatings demonstrated lateral anodic spreading potentially reducing coating penetration rates despite their higher surface corrosion rate.

Cut-edge corrosion was similar for all coating weights due to the ORR becoming diffusion-limited. A 64% reduction in surface corrosion was observed for high coating weights through increases in eutectic volume fraction. Spatial and temporal corrosion mechanisms were controlled by microstructural morphological differences as coating weight varied. 80 g.m-2 coatings demonstrated lateral anodic spreading potentially reducing coating penetration rates despite their higher surface corrosion rate.","manuscriptTitle":"Mechanistic investigation on the influence of coating weights on the corrosion behaviour of hot-dip-galvanised Zn-Mg-Al coatings.","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-05-08 15:57:23","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4335322/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
