Abstract (en)

Hot-dip coated steel articles having a coating containing about 55% aluminum, 43% zinc, 2% silicon, are known to exhibit an optimum combination of general corrosion resistance, more durable than zinc coatings; while providing more galvanic protection to cut edges and areas of mechanical damage than hot-dip aluminum coatings. It has now been found that coatings containing 12 to 24% zinc, up to 4% silicon, balance aluminum, provide galvanic protection equal to or superior to such known coatings, while providing enhanced general corrosion resistance, approaching that of aluminum coatings.
