Abstract  Electrodeposited zinc and zinc-based alloys are widely used as the protective coatings of metals,and the nature of their atmospheric deterioration is their electrochemical corrsion under thin elecrolyte film.This paper reviews the influence mechnism of several important aggressive particles on the corrosion process of zinc and its alloys,and the main measuremerts usually used in the atmospheric corrosion study and their corresponding merits and limitation.Meanwhile,the prospetive points in future atmospheric corrosion study of zinc and its alloys are brought forward.
Key words:  Zinc      Zinc alloy      Atmospheric corrosion
