Post-Corrosion Mechanical Analysis of Sn-Zn Alloys: A Short Review

Abstract

Abstract Renewed interest in investigating and improving the corrosion performance of the Sn-Zn based alloys were ignited as this alloy produces excellent mechanical properties but suffered from corrosion attack. To support the electrochemical investigations, mechanical analysis is normally performed. This article focuses on the most common mechanical analysis used, including the basic experimental setups, common parameters and selected case studies that are beneficial in understanding the corrosion process.
