Selecting metallic coatings

Abstract

Introduction Surface coatings of metal are applied chiefly to iron and steel, but sometimes also to non‐ferrous alloys, in order to improve the appearance or to increase corrosion resistance. Increased corrosion resistance may be obtained in either of two ways: (1) a more protective or noble metal is applied, or (2) a less noble or sacrificial coat is formed.
