An examination of the corrosion resistance of zinc-magnesium and zinc-aluminium-magnesium coated steels. / Chris Weirman

Swansea University Author: Chris Weirman

Abstract

This project has investigated the development of the optimum combination levels andprocessing conditions for zinc and magnesium coatings deposited by a Physical VapourDeposition (PVD) process under investigation by Tata Steel Europe Ltd.Temperatures in the range of 100°C to 350°C and times ranges of...
