Abstract
Abstract The corrosion of zinc and zinc-coated steel in tap water or 0.1 M NaCl solution is inhibited by small additions of cerous chloride. Polarization studies and surface analysis show that corrosion protection is due to the formation of a complex film of cerium-rich oxide which causes cathodic reaction rates to be substantially reduced.
