Abstract As a structural material in the field of railroad vehicles and marine vessels, steel has good mechanical properties, but it is susceptible to corrosion in harsh environments such as the ocean, atmosphere, and acid rain, which seriously affects its service life and brings about certain safety hazards and economic losses. Surface modification technology can bring great economic benefits while enhancing the performance of materials, and has great application prospects in improving the corrosion resistance of steel. As an active metal, zinc has good electrochemical protection. Moreover, zinc can also form alloys with other metals (Al, Fe, Mg, etc.), which can effectively reduce the self-corrosion current of the coating by changing the organizational structure and corrosion products of the coating. The addition of aluminum can promote the generation of Fe-Al phase and improve the bonding strength of the coating. Magnesium element can form Mg-Zn phase with lower corrosion current and improve the corrosion life of the coating. The intermediate phases (Fe₂Al₅, FeAl₃) formed by silicon elements have the function of isolating the shielding layer. In addition, due to the “synergistic effect” between a variety of elements, Zn-Al-Mg coating can form a dense layer of bimetallic hydroxide (LDH), the product can combine the corrosive ions (Cl^-, etc.) in the environment in order to balance their own charge, reduce the corrosive ion content in the environment. And rare earth elements (Re, Ce, etc.) can refine the grain, reduce the potential difference between the grain boundaries, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of intergranular corrosion. The addition of the above elements gives the coating excellent self-healing properties and resistance to edge corrosion, thereby effectively improving the long-term corrosion stability of the coating. This paper introduces the zinc-based coatings of different group elements, and studies the influence of different elements (Al, Mg, Fe, Si, etc.) on the corrosion performance of zinc-based coatings. It also provides a detailed explanation of the effects of silicon and magnesium elements on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of the coating. Subsequently, it introduces the research on multivariate rare earth coatings, and finds that rare earth elements have a “purifying effect”, so they can improve the corrosion resistance of the coating. The commonly used preparation techniques for zinc-based coatings are introduced, including electroplating, hot-dip plating and thermal spraying, and some technical problems are introduced. Finally, the research progress of zinc-based coatings is summarized, pointing out the shortcomings of current research and future research directions.

Key words： zinc-based coating corrosion resistance rare earth element steel Zn-Al-Mg
