Abstract
Various heat treatments of an Al-12.1 at.% Zn alloy would bring forth various types of microstructures such as solid solution (SS), continuous precipitation (CP), and discontinuous precipitation (DP), each of which contain respective shares of distribution of the aluminum-rich phases (α0, α) and the zinc-rich phase (β), and the corrosion behaviors of the said alloy may be affected as a result. Electrochemical measurements conducted in a 3 wt.% NaCl solution indicate that respective corrosion rates should be evinced in the following order: supersaturated SS
