Aluminium vs Hot dip galvanized steel in soil
Aluminium vs Hot dip galvanized steel in soil
(OP)
Hi,
I design a piece that will be placed in the soil. This piece can be installed in many type of different soils (from sand to clay soil).
If we don't want use any coating, does the aluminium (6063-t5) have a better corrosion resistance in soil than hot-dip galvanized steel?
Galvanic chart show that zinc will corrode before the aluminium. So, I think that hot-dip galvanized steel will corrode faster than aluminium. Am I truth?
Thank you

If the zinc coating gets damaged or scratched in operations that reduces its performance.

So, if I understand correctly, I can't select a material only by theoric. I have to test them in soil and compare results.
Also, if you have any other informations on the subject (aluminium vs galvanized steel), add it on this post please.
