The article examines the impact of the addition of Al, Ni, and Bi to a zinc bath on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of hot dip galvanizing coatings. The microstructure on the surface and the cross-section of the coatings obtained in the Zn-AlNiBi bath were examined. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was assessed by the standard neutral salt spray test (EN ISO 9227), the sulfur dioxide test in a humid atmosphere (EN ISO 6988), and the electrochemical test. The corrosion resistance of Zn-AlNiBi coatings was compared with the corrosion resistance of coatings attained in the bath of “pure” zinc. The corrosion tests showed higher corrosion wear of the coating obtained in the Zn-AlNiBi bath and a higher value of the corrosion current density for this coating. It was found that the cause of the reduction of the corrosion resistance of the coating, in contrast to the coating obtained in the “pure” zinc bath, may be the presence of bismuth precipitates in the coating, which may form additional corrosion cells.

The article presented the results of tests determining the synergistic effect of Al, Ni, and Pb additions on a zinc bath on the structure and corrosion resistance of coatings obtained on low silicon steel. Analyzed coatings were produced on S235JRG2 steel with Si content of 0.02 mass%. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was compared with the corrosion resistance of the coating obtained in the "pure" zinc bath. Structure at high magnifications (SEM) was determined, as well as coating thickness and chemical composition in microspheres. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was established comparatively in standard corrosion tests in neutral salt spray and a humid atmosphere containing SO2. It was found that the addition of Pb to the zinc bath reduced the corrosion resistance of the coatings. In the coating structure obtained in the Zn-AlNiPb bath, lead precipitation was observed in both the outer layer and the intermediate layer of the coating. Grain boundaries were the preferred site for lead precipitation. The presence of Pb precipitates favored conditions for the creation of additional corrosion cells, which led to a decrease in the corrosion resistance of the coatings.

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.

The wear resistance and corrosion resistance of chromium-free fingerprint-resistant pure zinc and Zn-Al-Mg coated cold-rolled steel sheets were studied by micro-friction wear experiments and neutral salt spray experiments. Two products are worn for a long time with a large load (5N load, 50 times abrasion), the depth of wear zone of Zn-Al-Mg coating product is 9% shallower than that of pure zinc coating product, and the width of wear zone is 15.4% smaller. Both products still meet the requirements of use after corrosion. The corrosion resistance of two products after degreasing treatment was significantly reduced. The Mg and Al in the Zn-Al-Mg coating can hinder the progress of corrosion, so it has better corrosion resistance.

To improve the corrosion resistance on Q235 low carbon steel, in this paper, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), N-dodecyl trimethoxysilane and γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy) propytrimethoxysilane (KH560) were used to make organic-inorganic hybrid sol-gel film. Cross cut test adhesion method, neutral salt spray test, electrochemical test and film protective efficiency were taken to value the corrosion resistance property. The corrosion topography was studied by optical microscope. In addition, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) curves and equivalent electric circuit fitting were used to analyze the corrosion mechanism. The cross cut adhesion of sol-gel film can reach 1 class and the protection class can attain 5 class after 72 hours neutral salt spray test. According to the potentiodynamic polarization curve analysis, the corrosion potential of sol-gel film coating sample after 0.5 hours immersion was -0.46 V (vs. SCE) on the 0.1 Hz, and its corrosion current density was 4.74×10-7 A·cm-2. The corrosion potential of bare Q235 low carbon steel plate after 0.5 hours immersion was -0.78 V (vs. SCE) on the 0.1 Hz, and its corrosion current density was 4.75×10-6 A·cm-2. The impedance value on 0.1 Hz (|Z|0.1Hz) (1.27×106 Ω·cm2) of sol-gel film coating sample was more than three orders of magnitude higher than the value of the low carbon steel plate. Even dipping in 3.5 wt. % NaCl for 72 hours, the |Z|0.1Hz value of sol-gel coating sample was still one order of magnitude higher than the low carbon steel plate with 0.5 hours immersion. Sol-gel film with excellent adhesion can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of low carbon steel plate. Sol-gel film can increase the protection efficiency of low carbon steel plate by 90%.

In the paper the results of tests defining the influence of the chemical composition of a zinc bath on the corrosion resistance of coatings obtained on Sebisty steel are presented. The coatings for the tests were produced on Sebisty steel with the content of silicon of 0.18 wt. % in Zn-AlNi, Zn-AlNiPb and Zn-AlNiBiSn baths. Corrosion resistance of coatings obtained in alloy baths was compared with the corrosion resistance of a coating obtained in a bath of pure Zn. The structure of coatings has been developed, the chemical composition of structural components of the coating and the coating thickness have be established. Corrosion resistance of the coatings was defined by comparative methods in a standard corrosion test in neutral salt spray. The tests were carried out in accordance with the EN ISO 9227 standard. It has been established that alloy additions to a zinc bath have impact upon corrosion resistance of obtained coatings. The addition of Pb results in a decrease in corrosion resistance of a coating obtained on Sebisty steel.

In this study, the anti-corrosion properties of nickel-based coatings on the surface of copper alloy were investigated, and damages caused by corrosion on the copper surface were resolved. Researchers prepared nickel-based coatings by supersonic particles deposition, and tested the anti-corrosion properties of brass substrate and nickel-based coating by electrochemical technology and neutral salt spray. The results show that, the corrosion current of coating decreased 35 times than that of matrix. The successive and pyknotic oxide film on the surface of coating prevented reaction of corrosion further. When it reached 500 hours, the corrosion rate closed to 0. Nickel-based coatings prepared by supersonic particles deposition contribute to the increase of corrosion resistance significantly, which verifies that it is feasible to prepare outstanding corrosion resisting nickel-based coating by supersonic particles deposition.

In the paper the authors present the results of corrosion resistance tests on coatings obtained in zinc-aluminium baths with the addition of Mg by use of the batch hot dip method. The content of Al in the bath was 31%, while the content of magnesium was 3 and 6%. In order to define corrosion resistance, two standard corrosion tests were performed in neutral salt spray and inmoist atmosphere containing sulphur dioxide. Corrosion resistance of tested pieces was compared with the corrosion resistance of a traditional zinc coating. It was established that Zn-31AlMg coatings have very good corrosion resistance in the tested environments, better than that of zinc coatings.

In the paper the results of corrosion resistance tests on ZnAlMg alloys used as batch hot dip galvanizing baths are presented. The tests were carried out on ZnAl alloys with 7 wt.% Al with the addition of 3 wt.% and 6 wt.% Mg. Corrosion resistance of tested alloys was compared with corrosion resistance of the traditional zinc bath alloy. Corrosion resistance of the alloys was defined by comparative methods in two standard corrosion tests in neutral salt spray and in moist atmosphere containing SO2. Electrochemical parameters of the corrosion process were determined on the basis of potentiodynamic tests. It was determined that the alloy of ZnAl7 has better corrosion resistance than the corrosion resistance of the alloy of a traditional zinc bath and that the addition of Mg to the alloy increases the corrosion resistance.

The hydraulic support column bears loading and makes reciprocating motion ceaselessly for extended periods, so its service life is far shorter than that of the overall hydraulic support. This paper offers a comparative study on the surface coating of hydraulic support columns with hard chrome plating and high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying refabricating to analyze the impact of different refabricating processes on the microstructure, hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of the coating (plating). The result shows that the structure of the HVOF coating is uniformly compact, and the HVOF WC10Co4Cr coating has better wear resistance, more than four times that of hard chrome plating. In the neutral salt spray test, the HVOF Ni60 coating shows rustiness at 720 h of the test, which suggests its corrosion resistance is nearly five times that of hard chrome plating. Hence, under the harsh corrosive wear environment, the refabricating HVOF Ni60 is a more suitable replacement for the hydraulic support column coating than the hard chrome plating. Thus, the HVOF Ni60 coating could be an effective replacement for hard chrome plating.
