“…Galvalume coatings exhibit unique dual-phase dendritic crystallisation that combines the surface protection and high durability of Al with the electrochemical protection properties of Zn (Moreira et al , 2006; Jiang et al , 2014). Typically, it is two to four times more durable and resistant to corrosion under atmospheric conditions than galvanised coatings (Vishwanatha and Panda, 2022; Hoang et al , 2022; Morcillo et al , 1994; Yasakau, et al , 2016). Galvalume coatings have several applications such as household appliances and automobile exhaust systems (Guo, et al , 2018; Jarwali and Nakamura, 2016).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the role of aluminium (Al) in marine environment and the corrosion mechanism of galvalume coatings by conducting accelerated experiments and data analysis. Design/methodology/approach Samples were subjected to accelerated corrosion for 136 days via salt spray tests to simulate the natural conditions of marine environment and consequently accelerate the experiments. Subsequently, the samples were examined using various test methods, such as EDS, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and the obtained data were analysed. Findings Galvalume coatings comprised interdigitated zinc (Zn)-rich and dendritic Al-rich phases. Corrosion was observed to begin with a Zn-rich phase. The primary components of the corrosion product film were Al2O3 and Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O. It was confirmed that the role of Al was to form a dense protective film, thereby successfully blocking the entry of corrosive media and protecting the iron substrate. Originality/value This study provides a clearer understanding of the corrosion mechanism and kinetics of galvalume coatings in a simulated marine environment. In addition, the role of Al, which is rarely mentioned in the literature, was investigated.
