N2 - In the paper the melting point of ZnAl alloys with the addition of Mg has been determined, based on solidification curves. The alloys used for the tests were alloys containing 7, 15, 23 and 31 wt. % Al with the addition of 3 or 6 wt. % Mg. It has been determined that the solidification temperature of the ZnAlMg alloy is a synergistic effect of the Al and Mg contents. In alloys with lower contents of Al (7, 15 wt. % Al) an increase in the content of Mg leads to an increase of the melting point. In baths with higher contents of Al (23, 31 wt. % Al) the addition of Mg causes a decrease of the melting point. It has been determined that the melting point of the Zn-31Al6Mg alloy drops to 438oC, due to which the alloy can be used for metallization in temperature conditions close to the temperature of traditional hot dip galvanizing.
