The paper deals with the application of conversion coatings for the preparation of surfaces before adhesive bonding of galvanized and non-galvanized steels. The morphology of the coatings was monitored by electron microscopy. The corrosion characteristics of the conversion coatings were determined by linear polarization. Steels treated with conversion coatings were used to form bonded joints using three structural adhesives. The resistance of the joints to undercorrosion was determined following the change in the load-bearing capacity of the joints after exposure in the climatic chamber.
