Problem 1:

a) Zinc is often used as a coating on steel reinforcement. Explain two ways in which the zinc coating can protect the reinforcement. What would happen if the coating was nicked.

b) Compare the effectiveness of the zinc coating with a typical epoxy coating on reinforcement. How does the epoxy coating protect reinforcement and what happens if the coating is nicked.
