A Mechanism-Oriented Multiphysics Study of Scratch-Width-Dependent Galvanic Protection Loss in Mechanically Damaged Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Enclosures

Mechanical scratches that penetrate the protective layers expose the steel substrate and establish a zinc–steel galvanic couple beneath an electrolyte film. This study develops a mechanism-oriented multiphysics model of scratch-width-dependent galvanic protection loss in hot-dip...
