Influence of steel gauge on the microstructure and corrosion performance of zinc alloy coated steels
Published in the leading journal for corrosion research (Impact factor 3.7 citations 5), this work presents an investigation into the effect of steel gauge on the cut-edge corrosion of Galvanised alloy coatings. Assessment of this corrosion is critical for Tata Steel where 9000 tonnes per week are produced having warranties of up to 40 years (Mike.Coppack@tatasteel.com). The results and model produced have had a direct influence on evaluation methods within Tata Steel (jon.elvins@tatasteel.com) and the work has been presented internationally at the leading European corrosion conference (Eurocorr 09, Nice, France).
