A new hot dip Zn-5%Al-0.3%Mg alloy coating was performed on cold rolled common steel. The hot-dip process was executed by self-made hot dip galvanising simulator (China patent, No.201010160353). The corrosion resistance of alloy-coated steels was detected by neutral salt spray test . SEM and EDS test results demonstrate that Mg is mainly distributed in the crystal boundary. XRD test results shows corrosion product of Zn-5%Al-0.3%Mg alloy coating is mainly Zn5(OH)8Cl2•H2O. The characteristic of Zn5 (OH)8Cl2•H2O is dense and insoluble, so it is protective. In order to study the anticorrosion mechanism, all the tests of the Zn-5%Al-0.3%Mg alloy were carried out with Zn-5%Al coating together.

High velocity arc spraying was used to prepare FeCrAl/Al composite coating on Q235 steel substrate by simultaneously spraying FeCrAl wire as the anode and Al wire as the cathode. The composite coating was sprayed with varying voltage and current to obtain optimum coating characteristics. FeCrAl coating was also prepared for comparison purposes. The surface microstructure of the coatings was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The average microhardness of the coatings and the substrate was analyzed and compared. Corrosion resistance was investigated by means of electrochemical tests. The image results showed that a lamellar structure consisted of interwoven layers of FeCrAl and Al. Al and FeCr constituted the main phases with traces of oxides and AlFe intermetallic compounds. The average porosity was reduced and microhardness of the coatings was improved with increasing voltage and current. The FeCrAl/Al coating formed alternating layers of hard and ductile phases; the corrosion resistance of the coatings in the sodium chloride (NaCl) solution depended on the increase in Al content and spray parameters. The corrosion resistance tests indicated that FeCrAl/Al coating had a better corrosion resistance than the FeCrAl coating. FeCrAl/Al can be used to coat steel substrates and increase their corrosion resistance.

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.

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 order to improve the organization, reduce the porosity, compact the structure and enhance the corrosion resistance of the coating, Zn-Al-Mg-RE coating system was prepared by high velocity arc spraying. The surface appears, phase composition and electrochemical properties of the coating were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray radiation diffaction and electrochemical workstation. The results indicated that the coatings were compact. The coatings were mainly zinc and aluminum phase. In corrosion of immersion, the reaction resistance and coating resistance of coatings quickly become bigger, the surface of coatings become more compact, and the corrosion reaction is more difficult. Electrochemical tests showed that the coating had excellent corrosion resistance. The electrochemical protection and self-sealing effect of coatings can have long-term effects on anticorrosion.

Cored wires and arc spraying were used to produce high Mg content Zn-Al-Mg alloy coatings on low carbon steel substrates. And the corrosion mechanism of the Zn-Al-Mg coatings was investigated comparing with Zn-Al alloy coatings by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that, The Zn-Al-Mg coatings show higher electrochemical corrosion resistance in salt solution than Zn-Al coatings. With addition of Mg, the corrosion products can block off the pores in the Zn-Al-Mg coating, which is so-called self sealing, and thus prevent attack on the underlying steel substrate.

Recently, the demand for long life to industrial products has risen. The high strength alloy coating on necessary part can decrease a manufacturing cost for life prolongation. This study proposes a laser surface alloying method to form an Fe-Al alloy coating on a carbon steel. By laser heating to an Al foil stuck on the steel, the mutual diffusion proceeds and the Fe-Al alloy grows. The material property of the generated alloy is greatly different according to a heat treatment temperature. For example, Fe3Al grows at 950 °C or more, and it has high toughness. A furnace heating effects the properties of inside of base material negatively. A high-frequency heating is not suitable for a local surface reforming. The laser processing is suitable for a local surface reforming. A defocused CO2 laser was irradiated to the Al foil stuck on the steel block by the shot lining in various processing conditions. The metal structures of the laser irradiated area was observed, to search for the suitable processing conditions for alloy coating. It was clarified that a local Fe-Al alloy coat was able to be formed without change of the properties of base material by high speed laser scanning.

AbstractCoatings with the composition of Li-Al-NO3 hydrotalcite were formed on the Al alloy 6060 using a spray system. The coatings consist of crystals with a typical hydrotalcite structure. Dense, uniform and blade-like flakes cover completely the surface of the Al substrate. The coatings display a multi-layer structure with average thickness of ∼1000 nm. The hydrotalcite-coated samples performed better than those without coatings in salt-spray and filiform-corrosion tests, and further treatment involving sealing with a Mg acetate solution and dipping in a H2O2 + Ce-based solution improved the corrosion resistance ability.

Simulation experiment was done to investigate the effects of rare earth on hot-dipped Zn-55%Al alloy coating. The results show that the rare earth has little effect on the zinc dross and its burning loss is about 10%. The microstructure of coating is similar to that of solidification bath, and which is made up of phases of rich aluminum, rich zinc, rich silicon and rare earth, and intermetallic layer of Al-Zn-Fe-Si. The rare earth phase is needle or rod, and mainly distributed inside rich zinc phase and on the interface between the coating and steel substrate. The rare earth has no obvious influence on coating grain and spangle size. The appropriate addition of rare earth would be helpful to improve the coating bending formability and corrosion resistance.
