Fig. 17: SVET colour maps representing normal current density measured above ZMA surfaces immersed in 0.17 mol.L-1 pH 7 solution for 24 h.

The maps presented are of 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h of immersion time for Zn-1Mg-1Al, Zn-1Mg-3Al, Zn-3Mg-1Al and Zn-3Mg-3Al. Anodic activities are shown in red and cathodic activities are shown in blue.
