TAE JUN PARK (Hyundai-steel)22/06/2021, 08:30Product Modifications on Metallic Coatings (Spangle Size, Solidification Path, Interface Layers, …)Oral PresentationThis study was carried out to improve the surface quality of galvanized steel, which are widely used in exposed automotive panels. To control zinc grain called as spangle that occurs during solidification of galvanized steel, In view of the metallurgical aspects, we considered a new method increasing the surface area of full hard steel associated with nucleation of molten zinc in the...Go to contribution page

Nega Setargew (BlueScope Steel Innovation Labs)22/06/2021, 08:50Product Modifications on Metallic Coatings (Spangle Size, Solidification Path, Interface Layers, …)Oral PresentationIn this paper we present spangle nucleation and refinement theory in 55%Al-Zn coated steel. We propose that the precipitation of 5c intermetallic phase, (Fe5Si2Al20+Zn) in the coating overlay is the dominant mechanism for spangle refinement. Under normal process conditions, when the strip emerges from the bath, the Fe in solution in the coating overlay diffuses to the alloy layer and...Go to contribution page

Takuya Mitsunobu (Nippon Steel Corporation)22/06/2021, 09:10Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium and Zinc-Aluminum Coatings for Non-Automotive ApplicationOral PresentationHot-dip Zn-Al alloy coated steel sheets such as 55%Al-Zn-1.6%Si and Zn-5%Al coatings are widely used in the construction industry because of their higher corrosion resistance than zinc coatings. It is well known that the corrosion resistance of hot dip Zn-Al alloy coatings depends on the microstructure formed through solidification process1). Thus, controlling the solidification microstructure...Go to contribution page

Rohit Bardapurkar (Colorado School of Mines)22/06/2021, 09:30Challenges in Galvanizing Advanced High Strength Steels (GI, GA,…)Oral PresentationNew generation advanced high strength steels (AHSS) are utilized in automobiles to reduce weight while enhancing fuel efficiency and crash performance. Zn-based coatings are commonly applied on sheet steels to achieve sacrificial corrosion protection. Galvanizing of AHSS is challenging due to the relatively high application temperature of these coatings (460 °C for hot-dip galvanizing). High...Go to contribution page
