Description

Description
Zinc-Aluminum Alloys and Coatings
Technical Field
The present invention is directed to the appli- cation of zinc coatings to a substrate - commonly sheet steel.
The use of zinc as a protective coating has been known for many years. In this regard, hot dip galva¬ nizing, either continuous or batch type, has long been used for a variety of steel products to protect the products from corrosion.
Background Art
In order to obtain increased corrosion protec¬ tion as well as other advantages (e.g. better sacri- ficial protection of steel; improved for ability, weldability and paintability) efforts have been undertaken in the field of zinc coatings to develop improved zinc alloys for the continuous or batch application to substrates. Studies carried out in this direction have resulted in the development of new types of coatings such as the alloy Zn-55 Al- 1.5Si and other zinc alloys having low (i.e., less than 15%) Al-1.5Si content. The Zn-55 Al alloy coating developed by Bethlehem Steel (see for example U.S. Patent Nos. 3,343,930 and 3,393,089) reportedly exhibits a good corrosion resistance but, in view of its high aluminum content does not provide a satis¬ factory sacrificial protection of the steel substrate, Subsequent-s-fcudies have been aimed at modifying the composition of molten metal baths in order to form (by hot-dipping) a coating which improves corrosion resistance even in the most varied environ¬ ments. One of the aspects of these studies was the influence of the preparation of the surface to be coated on the quality of the product obtained. It thus appears that in order to ensure a quality coating, some of the alloy coatings previously developed required expensive preliminary surface treatments involving expensive equipment. For example, this was the case with respect to zinc coatings containing typically about 5% Al and addi¬ tions of other elements such as Sb, Pb + Mg, and Pb + Mg + Cu proposed by Inland Steel (see for example Inland U.S. Patent Nos. 4,029,478 and 4,056,366 as well as U.S. Patent No. 4,152,472 assigned to Nippon Steel) . There exists evidence showing that composi¬ tions of these types are characterized by a pro- nounced tendency to form bare-spots and similar defects even in the presence of careful surface preparation.
In view of the above considerations, there continues a need for a hot-dip metal bath of such composition that no special or expensive surface preparation of the substrate would be necessary and such that the protective coating obtained thereby is substantially free of bare spots or other defects.
Disclosure of the Invention Consistent with the above, there have been developed according to the present invention zinc- containing hot-dip metal baths which yield high quality protective coatings free of defects such as bare spots. Stated generally, the bath compositions and resultant coatings constitute improvements over known alloy" batha.-and coatings in that they contain additionally mixtures of rare earth elements. More particularly, the present invention is directed to zinc-aluminuπ compositions or alloys which have added thereto rare earths in the form of mischmetal. In this regard, it is preferred that the zinc-aluminum alloys be what are commonly referred to as low aluminum zinc alloys which are generally recognized to contain from about 3% to about 15% aluminum.
Detailed Description
The hot-dip metal baths according to the present invention, and hence the coatings obtained therefrom, may vary considerably just as known zinc-aluminum baths and coatings may vary. In each instance, however, it is essential that the bath have added thereto a mischmetal alloy in an amount sufficient to yield the improved results observed and described herein. A mischmetal addition to a zinc-aluminum bath in the range of from about 5 ppm to about 1.0%, and preferably about 0.01% to about 0.1% (by Weight), is generally contemplated as being sufficient in this regard.
As will be understood by one skilled in the art, the term mischmetal refers to a variety of knovm rare earth alloys. For example, two typical cerium mischmetals might have the following compositions (in weight %) :
(1) Ce 45-60; other rare earths 35-50, the balance comprising Fe, Mg, Al, Si and impurities.
(2) Ce 52.7, other rare earths 47.5, Fe 0.04, Mg 0.28, Al 0.08, Si 0.27 and the balance impurities.
Typical Lanthanum mischmetals can be defined by the following (in weight %) :
(1) a^ 60-90; Ce 8.5; Nd 6.5; Pr 2 the balance comprising Fe, Mg, Al and Si as well as possible impurities.
(2) La 83, Ce 8.5, Nd 6.5, Pr 2, Fe 0.2, Mg 0.03, Al 0.18, Si 0.43 and the balance impurities. Thus the term mischmetal, as used herein, refers to the above compositions as well as other mischmetal compositions readily apparent to those skilled in the art. As stated above, the preferred alloy to which mischmetal is to be added is a zinc-aluminum alloy containing from about 3% to about 15% aluminum. Such alloys typically contain about 5% aluminum. These alloys may contain constituents in addition to mischmetal such as Fe, Pb, Sb, Mg, Sn, Cu and Si.
Thus one embodiment of the invention comprises a low aluminum (i.e., 3-15%) zinc bath containing Pb or Sn as well as mischmetal. Pb and Sn are known additives to galvanizing baths for modifying the fluidity of the liquid metal or the spangle of the solidified coating.
The addition of Sb to a galvanizing bath is dis¬ closed in U.S. Patent No. 4,056,366 to improve the coatability of Zn-Al coatings in a manner similar to lead but without the deleterious effect that lead has upon the intergranular corrosion of the coatings. The addition of Sb to the mischmetal-containing compositions according to the present invention is therefore contemplated. Moreover, a Zn-Al composition containing Pb together with Sb is within the scope of the invention. A typical composition might contain 3-15% Al, 0.03-0.15% Sb, less than 0.02% Pb, and the balance Zn to which mischmetal has been added.
Zinc-aluminum alloys containing lead and also Mg and Cu are reported to be immune to grain boundary corrosion. In this type of coating alloys, mischmetal additions have been shown to exhibit a pronounced beneficial effect as regards soundness and uniformity.' Thus a Zn-Al alloy containing Mg, Pb, Cu and misch- metal is encompassed by the present invention. Here a typical composition might contain 3-15% Al, 0.02- 0.15% Mg, 0.02-0.15% Pb and possibly 0.1-0.3% Cu, the balance being Zn with mischmetal additions.
Various mischmetals may be advantageously used according to the invention, including mixtures of mischmetals in a single zinc bath or coating. For example, a La-mischmetal and a Ce-mischπietal may be added simultaneously, preferably in an amount such that the total mischmetal concentration is within the ranges described above, i.e. from about 5 ppm to about 1.0% and preferably from about 0.01 to 0.1% by weight. In order to facilitate the addition of the mischmetal to the galvanizing bath, a master alloy may be first prepared and then added to the zinc bath so as to yield the desired mischmetal concentration. Such master alloys might be comprised of 20% Zn and 80% mischmetal or 85-95% Al and 15-5% mischmetal.
EXAMPLES 1. Specimens of rimming steel sheet measuring 68 x 120 x 0.7 mm were galvanized in a device simulating a continuous galvanizing bath. They were first pre¬ heated in an atmosphere containing 95% N2 - 5% H2 at different temperatures from 750 to 800°C for times ranging from 1 to 10 minutes. After this heating stage the specimens were transferred from the hot zone of the furnace, cooled down to about 430°C and then introduced into a zinc alloy bath maintained at 430°C and protected by the 95% 2 - 5% H2 atmosphere. They were maintained in the zinc bath for periods ranging from 5 to 60 seconds and then removed from the bath and cooled in a jet of 95% l~- - 5% H2 gas.
Such tests were carried out with different types of bath compositions. The galvanized samples were examined to determine the soundness of the coating, particularly as regards the occurrence of bare spots and uncoated areas. In a bath containing 5 to 8% Al without any other additions, the specimens contained a high pro¬ portion of uncoated areas and bare spots. This was the case even as to the specimens pretreated at the highest temperature and longest annealing time in the reducing atmosphere. The addition of 0.15% Sb in a Zn-5% Al bath resulted in a decrease in the amount of bare spots but still up to 33% of the galvanized faces presented bare spots. A third bath containing 5% Al and 0.02% Ce added as Ce-mischmetal resulted in 100% good coatings for a range of heat treating conditions.
A bath containing Zn - 5% Al, 0.03 La and 0.025 Ce added as La and Ce mischmetal gave rise to 100% good coatings even for preheating temperatures as low as 750°C.
2. This example relates to trials carried out with a pilot continuous annealing and galvanizing plant. In these trials 800 kg coils of rimming steel sheet 150 mm wide and 0.25 mm thick were first treated in a Selas type furnace at temperatures ranging from 680 to 860°C. The sheet was then cooled in a controlled atmosphere to about 430°C and then introduced into a seven-ton zinc bath. The sheet was then nitrogen-gas wiped at the exit, jet cooled and finally coiled.
Depending on test conditions the speed of the sheet varied in the range 10 to 30 m/min.
Several coils were galvanized with a bath con¬ taining Zn - 5% Al and a cerium mischmetal content from 0.05% - 0.001%. The cerium content varied from 0.04% to 0.0008% and the La content was 0.02% to 0.0002%. The resulting coating was bright with a grain size varying from 1 to 5 mm, depending on the cooling conditions, and with thicknesses varying from 5 to 35 m depending on the gas wiping conditions. -7-
The coating was uniform and free of bare spots, uncoated areas or other defects.
A Zn - 5% Al bath containing 0.13% Sn and as above 0.05% of cerium mischmetal was also used in the pilot galvanizing line. The coatings obtained had characteristics similar to those described above with a coating somewhat less bright due to a different spangle behavior. An additional bath containing Zn, 5% Al, 0.13% Sn, 0.05% Pb and about 0.05% Ce + La (added as Ce mischmetal or La mischmetal; or added as a master alloy containing about 20% Zn and 80% La and/or Ce mischmetals; or added as a master alloy containing about 90% Al and 10% La and/or Ce misch¬ metal) was also used in the pilot galvanizing line. The coatings obtained showed a wide range of thickness, were uniform and again were free of bare spots and uncoated areas.
It is evident that the pilot plant conditions are mentioned as examples only and that other condi- tions prevailing in continuous annealing and galva¬ nizing lines as regards furnace type, composition of gas, speeds, wiping methods, etc., can be used with advantage with the zinc bath composition according to the invention. Moreover, bath and coating co posi- tions as described herein may be used in non- continuous (e.g. batch) galvanizing methods.
3. Specimens from the above pilot plant trials were subjected to various trials for the evaluation of formability and adherence, the corrosion resistance in various environments, the galvanic protection, and the microstructure.
The formabili-fc'y and adherence was evaluated by means of bulge tests and Erichsen tests. In both types of tests the coatings obtained with the isch- metal-containing bath exhibited an adherence and formability equivalent to that of standard galvanized coatings. For example a 180° bending gave rise to no cracking and in the Erichsen test a depth of 9 mm was made on 0.25 mm thick sheets without peeling of the coating.
The corrosion resistance, in a salt spray test, of the Zn-Al coatings containing mischmetal was more than twice that of a standard galvanized coating of the same thickness. For example, with the coatings of the present invention the time to first rusting was about 900 hours instead of 350 hours with a conventional galvanized coating of the same thickness.
Similarly the corrosion resistance in an environment containing 10 ppm S02 was shown to be at least 50% greater than that of a conventional- galvanized coating. The galvanic protection of the Zn-Al mischmetal coating was also determined by examining the progress of corrosion around scratches machined on specimens exposed to a S02-containing environment. The galvanic protection of the mischmetal-containing Zn - 5% Al coating was equal to that of a pure zinc coating and far superior to that of a coating containing Zn-55Al-1.5Si.
