A new metallographic technique for hot-dip galvanized and galvannealed coatings has been developed. The new polishing procedure and etchant have shown excellent results on commercial hot-dip galvanized and galvanneal coatings, as well as on laboratory-simulated hot-dip galvanneal produced under a variety of thermal processing parameters.
