Abstract
Potential-time curves, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffrac tion techniques are used to study the development of phosphate layers on steel. The effects of galvanic coupling of the steel to various are as of zinc metal is considered. Particular attention is paid to the bo undary region between steel and differing types of zinc coating. The d evelopment of phosphate growth and its phase composition are found to be significantly altered by both physical and galvanic effects.
