Effects of the Combined Addition of Zn and Mg on Corrosion Behaviors of Electropainted AlSi-Based Metallic Coatings Used for Hot-Stamping Steel Sheets

The effects of the combined addition of Zn and Mg on the corrosion resistance of AlSi-based coating for automotive steel sheets were investigated using a variety of analytical and electrochemical techniques. The preferential dissolution of Mg and Zn from MgZn<sub>2</sub>/Mg<sub>2&l...

The preferential dissolution of Mg and Zn from MgZn<sub>2</sub>/Mg<sub>2</sub>Si phases occurred on the AlSi-based coating that had been alloyed with a smaller portion of Zn and Mg, which contributed to the rapid surface coverage by corrosion products with a protective nature, reducing the corrosion current density.
