Abstract

The effect of high temperature on the corrosion of zinc surfaces was studied. Four strips taken from the zinc electrode of a dry cell were subjected to varying temperatures (room temperature, 500°C, 550°C and 600°C) for two hours. Images of the surfaces were then taken using a microscope and were analyzed using the FracLac 2.1 plugin of the image analysis software ImageJ 1.34n. Results showed that, at high temperatures, the degree of corrosion of the zinc surface increases with temperature.
