The main objective of the present work was to investigate the forced wetting of a partly oxidized steel by a liquid Zn - Al (0.2 wt. %) alloy. The wetting experiments are performed by means of the dispensed drop technique. The wetting is shown to be reactive with the formation of Fe2Al5Znx. The evolution of the contact angle and spreading diameter is determined as a function of spreading time....

Ghazal Seyed Mousavi (McMaster Steel Research Center, McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada)23/06/2021, 08:50Challenges in Galvanizing Advanced High Strength Steels (GI, GA,…)Oral PresentationEffects of Si content on the selective oxidation and reactive wetting of two grades of Fe-0.1C-2Mn-xSi (wt.%) (x=1.3 and 1.7 wt.%) advanced high strength steel arising from continuous galvanizing heat treatments were investigated in this research. Experimental steels were intercritically annealed for 120 s in a N2-5 vol.% H2 gas atmosphere at dew points of –50 °C, –30 C and +5 C and...Go to contribution page

In order to improve fuel efficiency and to reduce carbon emissions, automakers are using advanced high strength steels (AHSS) to lightweight vehicles without compromising passenger safety. In manufacturing, the steel sheet is annealed in a continuous galvanizing line (CGL) to achieve the desired mechanical properties. During annealing, alloying elements such as Si, Mn, Cr, Al, etc. in the...

Maedeh Pourmajidian (Steel Research Centre, McMaster University)23/06/2021, 09:30Challenges in Galvanizing Advanced High Strength Steels (GI, GA,…)Oral PresentationTwo medium-Mn advanced high strength steels, a reference 0.1C-6Mn-2Si alloy and a 0.05 wt pct Sn added grade, were hot-dip galvanized in a conventional Zn-0.2Al and a Zn-2Al-2Mg bath in order to compare the reactive wetting behavior of these model third generation alloys. Despite being known for providing superior corrosion protection and higher performance, the steels immersed in the Zn-Al-Mg...Go to contribution page
