Influence Of Surface Finish Parameters On Corrosion Of Zinc by Mourad, M. Y. [ممدوح درويش الديري]

“…Also, it was found that the increase in surface roughness has two connecting effects. The first leads to a decrease in corrosion potential due to a decrease in the cathodic surface area while the second leads to an increase in corrosion potential due to a decrease in the peak to valley distances of surface irregularities…”
