<p>A ferrous metal strip is continuously hot-dip coated with a zinc-aluminum alloy by immersing the metal strip in a hot-dip coating bath containing between about 0.2 wt. percent and 17 wt. percent aluminum, between about 0.02 wt. percent and 0.15 wt. percent magnesium with the balance essentially zinc. In a further embodiment the hot-dip alloy coating can also contain between about 0.1 wt. % and 0.3 wt. % copper. The resulting hot-dip zinc-aluminum alloy coatings when applied to a ferrous metal strip exhibit good resistance to intergranular corrosion and blistering when exposed to a high humidity atmosphere and form smooth surface coatings which have good formability both in the "as coated" state and after prolonged storage in a high humidity atmosphere.</p> |
