Corrosion is a major problem in engineering because of its adverse effects involving the deterioration of materials as well as the destruction of such materials. Corrosion of mild steel causes excessive damage in terms of material loss and reduced efficiency. This imposes attention from researchers worldwide for novel literature review. This study presents a review on the effects that zinc oxide multilayered composite coatings have on the mechanical properties of mild steels. These mechanical properties include hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, impact strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength. It was reported by various researchers that coating with multilayered composite of zinc oxide gave a better result as compared to coating with Zinc alone. From the literature studied, it was noticed that more work is still required to identify and use more natural products as constituents of these multilayered composite.
