Abstract

This invention relates to an Sn-containing and/or Bi-containing zinc alloy for hot galvanizing steel, more particularly for component galvanizing.The alloy is composed of 1 to 5%by weight of Sn + Bi, 0 to saturation of Pb, 0.025 to 0.200%by weight of at least one of Ni, Cr or Mn, 0 to 0.030%by weight of at least one of Al, Ca and Mg, the remainder being zinc and unavoidable impurities.

Description

ALLOY AND PROCESS FOR GALVANIZING STEEL This invention relates to a zinc alloy containing tin (Sn) and / or containing Bismuth (Bi) for the hot galvanization of steel, more particularly for the galvanization of components.
The effect of adding only tin and adding tin and bismuth to a zinc bath is discussed in EP 96200465.1. These additions ensure a delay in the zinc / iron reaction in the case of reactive steels such as steels containing silicon and / or phosphorus. That is why unduly thick layers of zinc are avoided. A relatively high concentration of tin in the bath is, however, necessary and makes the process economically less attractive. In addition, in fairly high concentration of tin there is a risk of formation of a heterogeneous galvanization layer containing tin precipitates.
The effect of vanadium, chromium, nickel and manganese in the zinc / iron reaction in a galvanization bath not containing tin is described in J.J. Sebisty et al., Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Hot-Dip Galvanizing, London, 1967. These alloys are, however, insufficiently effective for the correct galvanization of steel containing steel phosphorus having high silicon content.
The object of this invention is to limit the concentration in the bath due to the fact that tin is a rather expensive metal, while galvanization is nevertheless correct for phosphorus-containing steel and for steel having a high silicon content. For this purpose, use is made of a zinc alloy containing from 1 to 5% by weight of tin and bismuth, from 0 to lead saturation, from 0.025 to 0.200% by weight of at least one selected from nickel, chromium or manganese, from 0 to 0.030% by weight of at least one selected from aluminum, calcium and magnesium; the rest is zinc and unavoidable impurities.
Depending on the state of the market, it is therefore possible to replace tin partially with bismuth. Lead can be added to saturation. Lead is cheaper than tin and bismuth, but it is less effective and less attractive from an ecological perspective.
As a result of adding tin and bismuth to the zinc bath, the wetting of the steel to be galvanized is improved and the melting point is lowered. This has a plurality of advantages, such as, for example, the possibility of galvanization at lower temperatures, resulting in lower energy consumption and less corrosion of the zinc bath. Short immersion times are also possible, as well as the possibility of applying exceptionally thin layers of zinc.
Examples These alloys have been tested on several normal types of steel but also on reactive types of steel containing different concentrations of phosphorus and silicon. The table below shows the composition of the types of steel tested.
The following table shows the thickness of the galvanization layer for different compositions of the bath for an immersion time of 5 minutes.
