The answer of how to evaluate Zinc corrosion in different waters?
As you may know, different waters would grow different compounds of zincs and the degree of these compounds to withstand different salinity would be in favour, as you might have read before that, zinc would corrode most when it is in contact with sweat soft water , because this water would not form a film of zinc compounds that would protect the zinc, on the other hand tap water would contain carbonates which eventually would form a hard film that can protect the zinc from further corrosion.
