Abstract The corrosion resistance of two steel coatings (inorganic zinc-rich coating and thermal-spray zinc coating) was studied in detail by using the electrochemical and salt spray test, and the salt spray corrosion thickness was calculated by the time-varying equation established from the mathematical fitting method. The result show that the corrosion mechanism of the two types of coatings was the same that based on the sacrificed of zinc through anodizing phenomenon. The main reason for the difference of corrosion resistance between the two anticorrosive coatings was that the coating density and shielding effect of corrosion products were different. The 7500-hours salt spray test showed that the corrosion rates and microstructure characteristics of both types of zinc coatings were homogeneous on the premise of ensuring coating reliability. The time-varying equation can be used to evaluate the service life of the zinc coatings and judge their corrosion resistance quickly, that providing theoretical support for the maintenance of steel structures as well as the accelerated selection and design of coating formulations.

Metal components in engineering, industry and agriculture are subjects of degradation process influenced by corrosion which result in changes of mechanical characteristics. The current trend of anticorrosion protection is aimed at inorganic metal zinc-based coatings, such as zinc dipping which can be improved by duplex protection. This paper deals with two types of corrosion protection of steel components by zinc coating, first of which is produced by hot dip galvanizing, the other by Zn-Al spray. Hot dip galvanizing was processed in working conditions; the Zn-Al coating was sprayed following the instructions of producer. It is a special aerosol with particles of Zn and Al sized approximately 5 µm. There have been processed the following tests: analysis of element structure, test of corrosion resistance in aggressive environment of salt spray according to ČSN ISO 9227, further measurement weight of applied coatings according to ČSN EN ISO 3892 and measurement of thickness of passivating coating. There was also made an analysis of coating tenacity on bending pin according to ČSN EN ISO 8401. Quality of applied coatings was evaluated following the metallographic scratch pattern.

Abstract Thermal spraying has been used to protect many steel structures from aqueous corrosion using Zinc and Aluminium, and to some extent their alloy coatings to provide galvanic protection. The lifetimes of the coatings can approach 50 years even when exposed in severe marine environments. Zinc coatings work by continuously sacrificing themselves and slowly dissipating over time. Aluminium coatings passivate more readily and form a barrier layer, the passivity makes them less able to protect damaged areas and to self heal. A new ternary coating system involving Aluminium, Zinc and Magnesium has been shown to be capable of providing both a passive barrier layer as well as being able to give galvanically active protection. Salt spray tests have shown that the resistance to red rust of these new coatings increases by 300% over similar thicknesses of the separate metal coatings. Processing by arcspray is straightforward and both adhesion and deposition efficiency are better than where Zinc is sprayed alone.

The Impact

The paper presents results of studies on the impact of bismuth and tin additions to the Zn-AlNi bath on microstructure and corrosion resistance of hot dip galvanizig coatings. The structure at high magnifications on the top surface and cross-section of coatings received in the Zn-AlNiBiSn bath was revealed and the microanalysis EDS (energy dispersion spectroscopy) of chemical composition was determined. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was tested relatively in a neutral salt spray test (NSS), and tests in a humid atmosphere containing SO2. Electrochemical parameters of coatings corrosion were determined. It was found that Zn-AlNiBiSn coatings show lower corrosion resistance in comparison with the coatings received in the Zn-AlNi bath without Sn and Bi alloying additions. Structural research has shown the existence of precipitations of Sn-Bi alloy in the coating. It was found that Sn-Bi precipitations have more electropositive potential in relation to zinc, which promotes the formation of additional corrosion cells.

A novel phenomenon known as Industry X.0 is becoming extremely popular for digitizing and reinventing business organizations through the adaption of rapid and dynamic technological, innovational, and organizational changes for attaining the profitable revenue. This work investigates the die-casted commercially pure aluminum alloyed with 9% silicon and 3% copper (AlSi9Cu3) that is produced through the gravity die casting process. Further, the degradation of surface coating on die-casted AlSi9Cu3 alloy was explored. The acrylic paint electrodeposition (ED) coat, 2-coat polyester without primer and 3-coat polyester with epoxy primer powder coatings were used in this study. Moreover, the 3.5 wt.% of sodium chloride (3.5 wt.% of NaCl) test solution was used for electrochemical and salt spray test and the tools used to assess electrochemical properties were electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, and neutral salt spray test (NSS). The microstructure of AlSi9Cu3 after corrosion exposure was investigated; also, the microstructure of coated and uncoated AlSi9Cu3 samples was analyzed by SEM microscopy after corrosion exposure. Besides, the electrochemical studies were also carried out on the Al alloy die casting. It was found that acrylic paint ED coatings exhibited higher corrosion resistance than 2-coat polyester without primer & 3-coat polyester with epoxy primer powder coatings. Acrylic paint ED coating showed higher corrosion resistance in AC and a lower value in DC and 3-coat polyester with epoxy primer powder coating displayed higher corrosion resistance in DC and a lower value in AC.

In the paper mutual comparison of zinc coatings enriched with small additions of Mg and Al (up to 1 wt.% Mg and 1 wt.% Al) and traditional zinc coatings produced by hot dip galvanizing, concerning some important properties of coatings like coating structure, cracks formation after deformation and corrosion resistance of deformed samples was studied. It was shown, that while traditional hot-dip zinc coatings are formed by homogenous zinc layer, exhibiting only low amount of soluble aluminium, coatings enriched by small amounts of Mg and Al, namely 0.6% Mg and 0.8% Al are formed by dendritic zinc matrix and interdendritic phase containing Zn-Mg-Al eutectics. Development of cracks was investigated in the area of maximal deformation of the samples subjected to stretching. It was found, that while traditional zinc coatings showed sporadic long fine cracks, zinc coatings enriched with Mg and Al exhibited aggregation of short thick cracks in the deformed area. Samples of both materials after stretching were also exposed in neutral salt spray atmosphere in corrosion chamber. It can be concluded, that material with coatings enriched with Mg and Al showed better results in corrosion tests contrary to the presence of massive cracks in the coating. This significantly increased corrosion resistance is possible due to excellent adhesion of zinc coatings, containing Mg and Al on drawing steels.

Salt Spray Testing

In this work, microstructure and corrosion properties of zinc electroplated steel before and after black chromating was investigated. The test samples were prepared by electrodeposition process, using a commercially-available alkaline electrolyte. Subsequently, the galvanized samples were applied with a black chromate-based passivation layer and a clear top-coat layer. Their microstructures were examined using X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. The corrosion resistance of the samples was assessed with the salt spray test, following the ASTM B117, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization in 5 wt.% NaCl solutions. The study showed that zinc electroplated steels exhibit (110) crystallographic orientation. The passivation and top-coat layers did not affect the microstructure of the zinc layer, and covered uniformly on the zinc layer for all sets of samples. The corrosion resistant results obtained from salt spray testing and electrochemical testing revealed that the microstructure of zinc coatings prepared by using different applied current did not influence on their corrosion resistance markedly. While black passivation followed by top coating provided a significant improvement on corrosion resistance of the coatings.

Entre as ligas não ferrosas, as ligas de zamac são as mais utilizadas para a fundição e vêm sendo aplicadas na substituição de peças de latão, utilizadas industrialmente em metais sanitários. O zamac apresenta propriedades mecânicas semelhantes às do latão, porém com custo inferior. Entretanto, a alta porosidade destas ligas, impede que tratamentos superficiais garantam bom acabamento e resistência à corrosão. Visando melhorar o desempenho, frente à corrosão de peças de zamac, o objetivo do presente trabalho é avaliar o processo de diferentes tratamentos de superfície dos metais sanitários produzidos em zamac. As amostras foram injetadas sobre pressão e submetidas a diferentes tratamentos superficiais (tratamento mecânico, tratamento químico, cobre alcalino, cobre ácido, níquel, cromo). Os corpos de prova foram expostos a um meio agressivo, por meio de nevoa salina a fim de analisar a resistência à corrosão das peças, além de análises de polarização, metalografia e microdureza. Observou-se que a maior incidência de corrosão ocorreu nas partes de injeção e solda da peça, as amostras tratadas com níquel e cromo demonstraram o melhor desemprenho frente a resistência a corrosão.Palavras-chave: Zamac. Metais sanitários. Corrosão.ABSTRACTAmong the non ferrous alloys, zamak are the most used for casting and have been applied to substitute brass parts, industrially utilized in sanitary metals. The zamak presents mechanical properties similar to brass, however with lower cost. Meanwhile, the high porosity of these alloys hinders the superficial treatments ensure good finishing and corrosion resistance. Aiming to improve the performance against corrosion of zamak parts, this work evaluates the process of different superficial treatments of sanitary metals produced with zamak. The samples were injected under pressure and submitted to different superficial treatments (mechanical, chemical, alkaline copper, acid copper, nickel and chromium). The specimens were exposed to an aggressive medium through salt spray test to evaluate the corrosion resistance, and the following analysis: polarization, metallography and microhardness. It was observed that the higher corrosion incidence occurred on the injection and weld regions. The samples treated with nickel and chromium demonstrated better performance of corrosion resistance.

The purpose of this work is to identify the influence of zinc bath temperature on the morphology, texture and corrosion behavior of hot-dip galvanized coatings. Hot-dip galvanized samples were prepared at temperature in the range of 450-480 °C in steps of 10 °C, which is the conventional galvanizing temperature range in the galvanizing industries. The morphology of coatings was examined with optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The composition of the coating layers was determined using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The texture of the coatings was evaluated using X-ray diffraction. Corrosion behavior was performed using salt spray cabinet test and Tafel extrapolation test. From the experimental results, it was found that increasing the zinc bath temperature affects the morphology of the galvanized coatings provoking the appearance of cracks in the coating structure. These cracks prevent formation of a compact structure. In addition, it was concluded that (00.2) basal plane texture component was weakened by increasing the zinc bath temperature and, conversely, appearance of (10.1) prism component, (20.1) high angle pyramidal component and low angle component prevailed. Besides, coatings with strong (00.2) texture component and weaker (20.1) components have better corrosion resistance than the coatings with weak (00.2) and strong (20.1) texture components. Furthermore, corrosion resistance of the galvanized coatings was decreased by increasing the zinc bath temperature.
