Multiple types of corrosion tests, like salt spray test, 100% relative humidity test and chemical resistance test, were performed to report the corrosion resistance of samples in different corrosive environments. Enhanced corrosion resistance properties of the colour-coated samples were obtained from all the studies, followed by galvalume and galvanised samples. Cyclic voltammetry reveals a slightly higher pitting for the galvalume sample. SEM, EDS, XRD and Raman analyses for the salt spray tested and 100% humidity tested galvanised samples shows various corrosion products with their morphologies. XRD analysis reveals Zn5(OH)8Cl2H2O (simonkolleite), ZnO (zinc oxide), β-Zn (OH)2, Zn (OH)2 (zinc hydroxide) and Zn (ClO4)2 for salt spray tested samples whereas for the 100% relative humidity tested samples, main corrosion products are ZnO (zinc oxide), β-Zn (OH)2, Zn (OH)2 (zinc hydroxide), Fe and Zn. Raman spectroscopy reveals the presence of ZnO, β-FeOOH, white rust, green rust, FeCl2, Fe3O4, FeOH, Fe2O3 and δ-FeOH for salt spray tested samples, but for 100% humidity test, only ZnO is revealed.}, type={Article}, title={Evaluation of Corrosion Behaviour of Galvanised, Galvalume and Colour-Coated Steel Sheets}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/132646/AMM-2024-3-08-Ghosh.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2024.150907}, keywords={Galvanised, Galvalume, Colour-coated steel, Corrosion, SEM, X-ray diffraction}, }
