Cover: The picture shows a Zn‐2%Al‐2%Mg hot‐dip galvanised sample corroded for 300 h in a salt spray test according to DIN EN ISO 9227. On the right one can see an unreacted zinc dendrite. In the centre there are the remnants of a ternary zinc, aluminium, MgZn 2 eutectic. There the MgZn 2 phase has been selectively dissolved from the coating. The top of the sample features large compact crystals of simonkolleite (Zn 5 (OH) 8 Cl 2 ∙H 2 O). Despite the relatively strong attack of the metallic coating the steel substrate remains unattacked. More detailed information can be found in: T. A. Keppert, G. Luckeneder, K.‐H. Stellnberger, C. Commenda, G. Mori, H. Antrekowitsch , The effect of magnesium on the corrosion of hot‐dip galvanised steel in chloride containing environments Materials and Corrosion   2014 , 65 , 871 .
