A zinc coating of 86 \( \mu \)m corroding at 2 \( \mu \)m per year would last about

  • A.172 years
  • B.86 years
  • C.43 years
  • D.4.3 years

Answer: C

Dividing the thickness by the annual loss gives 43 years, which is why galvanising is specified by mass for a stated design life. In a marine or industrial atmosphere the rate is several times higher and the life correspondingly shorter.
