    Thermal spray coating method has been known to be an attractive technique due to its relatively high coating speed. However, a high corrosion resistance of the coating film deposited by thermal spray method should be improved to prolong its lifetime. In this study, four types of coated films (DFT: 400 μm), that is, pure zinc, pure aluminum and two AlZn alloy (Al:Zn = 85:15 and Al:Zn = 95:5) films were coated onto a carbon steel (SS401) with arc spraying, and the corrosion behaviors of these samples were investigated using the electrochemical method. The pure aluminum sample had the best corrosion resistance in seawater solution and alloy (Al:Zn = 85:15) film, so called galvalume followed the pure aluminum sample, moreover, the alloy (Al:Zn = 95:5) sample exhibited the worst corrosion resistance.
