Corrosion protection for newly welded sheets ?

Moin I have to grab the welding machine from my sister for the upcoming HU at the Toledo and weld the sleepers (and perhaps even more). In the absence of affordable pre-cast plates it will probably lead to the “flicking” itself to tinker from (uncoated) sheet metal. Only the question arises to me how I can protect these sheets from further corrosion from inside so that there is still something of this protection even after welding. r tells me about a “welding spray” but when I look at this it just seems to be for a better welding result and not a permanent corrosion protection.
