A commercially prepared, hot-dip galvanized, low-carbon steel sheet sample has been studied by means of XPS, SEM, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The sample was processed in a molten Zn bath containing Al and other additives at low concentrations. Extensive Al segregation to the top of the galvanized layer was observed by XPS. In addition, a considerable segregation of Al at the galvanized coating/steel interface was revealed by SEM/EDS analysis of the sheet cross-section.

## Abstract Hotโdipped galvanized zinc and zinc alloy coatings were used as protective metallic coatings for steel structures in seawater in China. Corrosion of the two coatings immersed in sea water in Qingdao and Xiamen for 6 years were introduced and analyzed, which provides a basis for further
The failure mechanism of an aged, phosphated, hot-dipped galvanized steel (HDGS) sealant adhesive lap joint system has been investigated using XPS. In a previous study, imaging time-of-flight (ToF) SIMS identified electrochemical activity in the form of local cathodic cells set up within an initiati
