The objective of this research work is to optimize the time of exposure for hot dip galvanizing of mild steel, so as to achieve such a microstructure of zinc coating that protects mild steel for long against atmospheric corrosion. In order to decide the above mentioned parameter the polished samples, one at a time, were dipped in to 500 g molten zinc at 460 to 470 oC in the crucible for a diffe...

in hot dip galvanizing, several parameters such as chemical composition of coating bath, immersion time and surface roughness of specimens could affect microstructure and properties of coating. in this article, the effect of aluminum content, immersion time and surface roughness on structure and properties of alloy layers have been investigated. specimens of low carbon silicon-free steel with d...

The behaviour of materials is governed by the surrounding environment. The contact area between the material and the surrounding environment is the likely spot where different forms of degradation, particularly rust, may be generated. A rust prevention treatment, like bluing, inhibitors, humidity control, coatings, and galvanization, will be necessary. The galvanization process aims to protect ...

The paper describes the abilities of some particular neural network structures (NNS) to provide condition monitoring in a real industrial system, designated for hot dip zinc galvanizing. Condition assessment of a molten zinc bath furnace, and more specifically analysis and prediction of the technical condition in galvanizing kettle walls are also developed in this paper.

THE REACTION between liquid zinc and steel, such as occurs during hot-dip galvanizing, shows some unusual kinetic features which as yet have not found a completely satisfactory explanation. The upon recent results from the in our laboratory. The main kinetic features (a) For silicon-free steels the purpose of this note is to present a mechanism based literature and some preliminary experiments ...
