Thermodynamical assessment of the Fe-Zn-Al-Cr system at 460°C
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 November 2004
Abstract
In continuous hot dip galvanizing, in particular with galvannealing baths, competitive reactions occur between iron, zinc and aluminium that may be affected by other elements such as chromium. Based on thermodynamics modelling and experimental descriptions, the zinc rich corner of the quaternary Fe-Zn-Al-Cr system is investigated at 460°C. The results obtained contribute to a better knowledge of the reactivity of steels in industrial galvanizing or galvannealing baths.
