The effects of alternating voltage, $Cl^-$ ion and pH on the corrosion of Zn and Zn-Fe alloys have been investigated by using electrochemical techniques in $Ca(OH)_2$ solutions. The passive film $Zn(OH)_2$ was initially formed on the Zn surface and gradually transformed to $Ca(Zn(OH)_3)_2{cdot}2H_2O$, which was identified with the X-ray diffraction method, SEM micrograph and EPMA. The passivity current increased with increasing alternating voltage and decrease AC frequency. ${xi}$ phase in Zn-Fe alloys reduced the effects of AC. The effect of $Cl^-$ ion on the passivity current of Zn was similar to the AC effect, resulting in pits on Zn. It was also found that the passive region of Zn decreased rapidly below pH 10.3 of the solution.
