Abstract Steel is the most important engineering material while galvanizing is the most effective method for corrosion protection of steel. This article reports the results of a study on the efficiency of corrosion protection by zinc coating in various natural environments based the corrosion rate data collected from various parts in the world. The potential and development direction for more corrosion resistant zinc based coatings are then discussed. More corrosion resistant zinc coatings could extend the application of galvanized steel beyond atmospheric environments much more into other environments such as soil, water, concrete or chemical environments. Comments are also made regarding the relevance of corrosion tests in relation to new coating development. This article was written in behalf of the International Zinc Association.
