This study investigated the corrosion morphology of arc-sprayed Zn and Zn85-Al15 coatings with and without sealing treatment under simulated defect conditions. The hole sealing treatment was carried out by Conventional Impregnation Sealing (CIS). The performance of two coatings was assessed by employing morphological analysis, chemical composition, and electrochemical studies. The results showed that the corrosion performance of two coatings with sealing treatments was better than that of the un-sealing coating. Through the double protection of coating and sealing treatment, the defect-free material has excellent anti-corrosion performance in the salt spray experiment. In the simulated defect environment, the Zn-Al coating has better corrosion resistance, and the corrosion products are denser and more stable near the defects, which reduces the overall corrosion rate of the coating. The electrochemical experiment results demonstrated that the Zn-Al coating exhibited a three times lower corrosion rate compared to the Zn coating in the immersion experiment, and the corrosion rate did not change with the thickness of the coating. The average adhesion values of the two different methods (chilled iron and alumina) were similar (~8 MPa), but after the salt spray test, the adhesion strength increased. The corrosion mechanisms of Zn coating and Zn-Al coating are analyzed and compared. In general, it was indicated that the Zn85/Al15 coating prepared by sealing treatment has better corrosion resistance than the matrix steel. This study can provide some reference for corrosion behavior in defect environments.
