The present investigation deals with the comparative study of liquid zinc attack on Armco iron and Tisco A grade iron within a temperature range of 450°C to 550°C. The effect of variables, e.g. time of contact, temperature, on weight loss of iron for a similar geometry of specimens has been studied and discussed. The maximum weight loss of iron has been found at 500°C for both the irons. It has been observed that even a slight variation in silicon content (on increase) appreciably increases the rate of attack on iron.
