Corrosion of the steel reinforcement in bridges is being increasingly mitigated by the technique called cathodic protection. One cathodic protection system which has recently gained a lot of attention uses thermally sprayed zinc as the anode. The present article discusses factors which have been found to affect the adhesion of metallized zinc on concrete.
