The impedance of zinc-rich polymer coatings on steel in a 3-% NaCl solution is studied. The electrochemical behavior of the electrode is satisfactorily described by an equivalent circuit that contains a constant-phase element, which reflects fractal properties of the zinc surface in the binder. From the results of calculations of the circuit elements for metal-rich electrodes with different zinc contents computed are fractions of the active area of the surface of the coating and its fractal dimensionality.
