Z11A3M, Z6A3M, Z1.6A1.6M, Z1A1M and Z1M coating samples were prepared in HDPS by traditional continuous hot dipping method. The microstructure, element distribution and phase was analyzed by SEM, EPMA and XRD. The corrosion resistance was checked in SST. The result was, MgZn2 and eutectic could be found in all ZAM coating. The ZAM coatings showed excellent corrosion resistance in SST than GI. The corrosion resistance was 4.1 to 11 times of GI. There was no strong relativity between alloy composition and corrosion resistance due to Mg enrichment on the surface of coating. Edge-unsealed ZAM samples showed good corrosion resistance than edge-sealed sample.

Production of defect-free galvanized steel sheet is considered a major concern for automotive and other critical applications; nevertheless, the occurrence of some defects in the coated sheets is unavoidable. In order to alleviate the problem, we need to know the extent to which the properties of a galvanized sheet are influenced by the presence of a given defect. In this investigation, specimens including any of the two major defects of continuously galvanized steel sheets were selected from a large number of coated samples. The defects, including furnace roll pimples and bare spots, were microstructurally characterized and their influence on corrosion behaviour and mechanical properties of the steel sheet was evaluated. Corrosion resistance was examined via standard salt spray test and Tafel polarization. Tensile test was employed as a measure of mechanical properties of the defective galvanized sheets. The results indicated that the presence of defects had little influence on the tensile properties of the samples, but considerably reduced their corrosion resistance. Based on the results of salt spray tests, pimples reduced corrosion resistance of galvanized sheets 23 % (50 hours) on average and bare spot defects caused reduction in corrosion resistance up to 39%.

Abstract GALFAN is a zinc-5% aluminum alloy with an addition of mischmetal to introduce small amounts of the rare-earth elements lanthanum and cerium. Its composition is eutectic and it was developed to provide a hot-dip coating alloy that would be better than zinc as a protective coating for steel. GALFAN can be used to coat steel sheet, strip and wire with only minor modification of the existing equipment used to produce galvanized steel. GALFAN coatings have good performance characteristics in a variety of applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and hardness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as heat treating and joining. Filing Code: Zn-40. Producer or source: Zinc Research Organization Inc..

Distribution of Zn and interfacial microstructure of braze-welding CMT joints between aluminium and galvanized steel sheets were researched. The results showed, except the gas porosity contains a little Zn, the other areas of fusion zone almost have no Zn. Temperature plays a decisive role in the distribution of Zn. The content of Zn is higher in the dendritic crystal than the intergranular part. The Zn coat adjacent to the joint is almost evaporated entirely. The Zn coat of steel sheet in the heat-affected zone around the joint is badly destroyed, and the corrosion resistance of the joint will decline. There are FeAl3 intermetallics and Al-Fe-Zn triphase solid solution formed at the interface.
