Corrosion Resistance of Aluminized Sheets

++++++

Can aluminized sheets be corrugated and used as roofing material? Does the aluminum coating protect the base metal like zinc does especially on the sheared edges? Would alumuinized sheets be more corrosion resistant than zinc coated sheets? Thank you.

There is a lot more field experience with galvanized roofing than aluminized, proving it to a good roofing material, but from a 10-minute look at comparitive studies in other fields, it sounds to me like aluminized would be as good or better.
