The composition of new accelerated zinc corrosion electrolytes has been derived from the chemistry of atmospheric pollutants. Zinc plated specimens were exposed to these solutions and the growth of the corrosion products has been studied by means of scanning electron microscopy, x-ray microanalysis...
