Hot dip aluminising of low carbon steel was done at temperatures 690°C and 750°C for dipping time ranging from 300 to 2400 seconds. During aluminising a mixture of ZnCl2 and NH4Cl was used as flux. During aluminising components of the flux decomposed and zinc formed interacted with the Fe and Al. The aluminised samples were characterised for iron-aluminium intermetallic layer formation, morphology, and local composition. It was observed that intermetallic layer was predominantly Fe2Al5 and FeAl3 at 690°C and at 750°C coating consisted of FeAl3 layer and a layer with Al/Fe ratio greater than 3.26. For both temperatures, coating thickness increased with increase in time. For a given dipping time, deposition was less at higher temperature and this is attributed to changes in the kinetics of growth of individual layers due to dissolved zinc in the aluminium, at 750°C. Also, spalling of intermetallic layers was observed at elevated temperatures and longer dipping times.

Hot-dip aluminizing of low carbon steel was done in molten Al-7Si-2Cu bath at 690°C for dipping time ranging from 300 to 2400 seconds. Characterization of the intermetallics layer was done by using scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy. Four intermetallic phases, τ5-Al7Fe2Si, θ-FeAl3, η-Fe2Al5, and τ1-Al2Fe3Si3, were identified in the reaction layer. τ5- Al7Fe2Si phase was observed adjacent to aluminum-silicon topcoat, θ-FeAl3 between τ5 and η-Fe2Al5, η-Fe2Al5 adjacent to base material, and τ1-Al2Fe3Si3 precipitates within Fe2Al5 layer. The average thickness of Fe2Al5 layer increased linearly with square root of dipping time, while for the rest of the layers such relationship was not observed. The tongue-like morphology of Fe2Al5 layer was more pronounced at higher dipping time. Overall intermetallic layer thickness was following parabolic relationship with dipping time.

Comparison study of oxidation behavior of low carbon steel was conducted at the temperature range of 500°C to 700°C under a 0.2 atm oxygen pressure by continuous and discontinuous oxidation methods. Oxidation rate of both cases was found to be increased with increasing temperature from 500°C to 700°C and obeyed parabolic rate law. In addition, activation energy for the continuous oxidation of steel was found to be a 164.8 kJ/mole, which means that oxidation rate is proportionally dependant on temperature. In case of cyclic oxidation, the oxidation rate was shown to faster than continuous oxidation at all temperatures due to direction oxidation through spallation of the oxide layer.
