Abstract
Abstract A galvanized ferrous article having an adherent, ductile and highly corrosion resistant coating of galvanizing alloy which presents a matted surface which is free or substantially free of spangle and which is capable, upon application of a paint coating thereon, of strongly anchoring the paint coating to the galvanized coating, said galvanizing alloy comprising a zinc base alloy containing 3-10% preferably 3.5-10% by weight of aluminum and one or more elements of magnesium, calcium, beryllium, titanium and copper in amounts within the range specified in terms of the total weight of the lead and tin contained in the galvanizing alloy.
