Statistical analysis of the corrosion characterization of Al-2.5% Zn binary alloy system has been carried out. Preweighed test coupons were subjected to seawater and atmospheric environments, respectively. The set up were allowed to stand for 480 h with a set withdrawn 120-hourly for corrosion rate characterization. The model equation developed using regression technique revealed that the model could be used for effective and accurate determination of corrosion trend in seawater and atmospheric environments as it showed good correlation with the experimental data.
