Correlationship between Microscopic Observations and Electrochemical Behaviour of Different Kind of Galvanized Steel

Abstract

Zinc anodic dissolution has been studied according to the steel galvanized method by means of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and microscopic observations. Relevant information on the galvanized method is provided by the analysis of experimental data. The galvanized method has no influence on the kinetics parameters of the zinc anodic dissolution process. The galvanized method only changes the surface texture of the working electrode. Thus, the EIS fitting allows to calculate the fractal dimension of the surface of the working electrode.
