The development of aluminized steel is outlined briefly. Results are reported of outdoor tests made on aluminized steel wire in marine, severe marine, severe industrial and semi-rural atmospheres. Proposed and current specification tests for aluminized steel which involve utilization of corrosion principles are discussed. Although the order of superiority of aluminized steel in atmospheric corrosion resistance compared to a zinc coating of equal coating thickness is not yet fully established, current information indicates that it will be substantial.
