Abstract
Abstract An organic primer pigmented with strontium aluminium polyphosphate for the corrosion protection of zinc alloy coated steel was investigated by electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy after exposure to sodium chloride solution. The development of defects within the organic coating was found to be related to the solubility of the pigment, which resulted in two conflicting effects. On the one hand, the inhibitive species released from the solid pigment reduced the corrosion rate of the metal substrate by formation of precipitated products containing zinc, strontium, aluminium, phosphorus and oxygen. On the other hand, the dissolution of the inhibitive pigment resulted in porosity in the coating that created easy pathways not only for the inhibitors to reach the substrate but also for the aggressive species to migrate inwards to the metal surface and, importantly, for the transport of corrosion products outwards.
