Summary:

The iron-zinc system has been studied frequently due to the fact that zinc inhibits corrosion of the iron by cathodic protection. However, there are discrepancies in the literature concerning both the nature of the intermetallic phases that can form in iron-zinc (Fe-Zn) alloys and the details of the Fe-Zn phase diagram. Many of the problems that are associated with this system can be attributed to the difficulty of preparing homogeneous alloys of known compositions because of the high vapor pressure of zinc relative to iron. For many of the same reasons, it has proved difficult to produce thin foils for examination in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) from bimetallic Fe-Zn materials. Transmission electron microscopy of the bimetallic Fe-Zn couple in cross section is desirable because microstructural information by imaging techniques, phase identification by diffraction techniques, and chemical analysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy can be achieved with one instrument.
