Objetivo
This research project will investigate:
- the interaction between steel surface characteristics and the formation of the electrolytic zinc coating as well as the formation of the Fe2Al5 inhibition layer;
- influence of the steel surface texture and chemistry on the ZnFe-alloying reaction in the early stages of annealing;
- the adhesion properties of the brittle ZnFe-coating;
- the influence of the conditions of the continuous hot dip galvanizing process; - the development of an analysis technique for the aluminium and zinc oxide layer at the zinc surface;
- the optimization and study of the potential of state-of-the-art characterization techniques such as EBSD, TEM, GDOS and GDMS for thin layers.
