- the base material (iron wire) is passed through the flux to perform the flux treatment.
- a flux process is a process of immersing an iron wire in the aqueous solution flux containing a chloride, and making it dry.
- the iron wire is immersed in a molten Zn—Al plating bath, pulled up and cooled to produce a plated iron wire.
- the flux-treated iron wire is immersed in molten metal (plated metal)
- Cl - ions are generated, and the surface of the iron wire is cleaned. As a result, stable plating can be performed on the surface of the iron wire.
- the plating adhesion amount may be adjusted with a wiping device (plating adhesion amount adjusting unit). Furthermore, in order to ensure slip resistance, if necessary, the Zn-Al plated wire is cold-worked (irregularly shaped) to form irregularities (irregularly shaped parts) on the surface of the plating layer, scraped, and deformed A plated iron wire may be manufactured.
- the surface property of the iron wire before the flux treatment is adjusted. If irregularities (complex shape surface, fractal interface) are formed on the surface of the iron wire to be plated before flux treatment, the aqueous solution flux accumulates in the concave portion. Can be uniformly applied over the entire surface. In particular, a flux can be stably secured in a minute and complicated recess (fractal recess). As a result, the Zn—Al plating can be stably and uniformly formed in the circumferential direction and the longitudinal direction.
- Flux treatment by controlling the annealing temperature and annealing time during annealing, controlling the dipping time and pickling conditions during pickling, and performing surface conditioning processing such as sandblasting and shot blasting inline
- the surface property of the previous iron wire can be controlled.
- a molten Zn—Al plated iron wire is produced by a one bath process (one bath method) in which a molten Zn—Al plating is applied after the flux treatment, The growth of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer generated at the interface with the Zn—Al plating layer can be suppressed.
- the present inventors have found that the structure of an Al—Zn plating layer (plating layer) of a Zn—Al plated iron wire produced using a hot dipping bath affects workability, plating adhesion and fatigue characteristics. It was.
- the Zn—Al plating layer (plating layer) of this Zn—Al plated iron wire includes a Zn—Al based alloy layer and an Fe—Al based alloy generation layer generated on the surface of the iron wire (base material).
- the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer (Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound generation layer) formed at the interface between the iron wire and the plating layer mainly includes columnar crystals of Al 5 Fe 2 and Al 3.2 Fe. .
- the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer is a layer containing at least an intermetallic compound such as Al 5 Fe 2 , Al 3.2 Fe, Fe 3 Si 2 Al 12 , and Fe 2 Si 2 Al 9 .
- the thickness of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer has a great influence on the fatigue life (fatigue characteristics) and plating adhesion of the plated iron wire. That is, since the Fe—Al based alloy generation layer is hard, if this Fe—Al based alloy generation layer is thick, cracks are easily generated in the Fe—Al based alloy generation layer when stress is applied to the plated iron wire. To do.
- the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer When the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer is cracked, the plating is peeled off or the crack propagates into the base iron (iron wire), so that workability and fatigue characteristics are deteriorated. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the cooling rate after hot dipping and suppress the growth of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer.
- the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer has an average thickness of 0.001 ⁇ m or more and 5 ⁇ m or less in order to improve the consistency (bonding) at the interface between the base material and the plating layer and improve the plating adhesion. It is preferable to form a thin film.
- the present inventors have carried out the present embodiment in order to further suppress the growth of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer generated at the interface between the iron wire (iron wire to be plated) and the plating layer mainly composed of Zn—Al.
- the components of the plating bath in the form were examined in detail.
- the present inventors effectively added Si to the molten Zn—Al plating bath to further suppress the formation of the Fe—Al-based alloy formation layer at the interface between the iron wire to be plated and the plating layer. I found out.
- the addition of Si to the molten Zn—Al plating bath makes the Zn—Al plating more uniform and hardly causes quality defects such as non-plating.
- an Fe-Al-based alloy generation layer (Fe-Al-Si-based alloy generation layer) containing a Fe-Al-Si based alloy at the interface between the iron wire to be plated and the plated layer Is formed.
- the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer mainly includes Al 5 Fe 2 and Al 3.2 Fe columnar crystals and Al—Fe—Si granular crystals. Further, in this Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer, Zn or Zn—Al alloy may exist at the grain boundary.
- the Zn—Al alloy layer of the Zn—Al plated iron wire has an influence on workability and fatigue characteristics.
- the Zn—Al-based alloy layer in the plating layer includes an Al-rich phase having a face-centered cubic structure (fcc) mainly composed of Al and Zn, and a Zn-rich phase having a hexagonal close-packed structure (hcp) mainly composed of Zn. including.
- this Zn—Al-based alloy layer includes a eutectic structure, an Al-rich primary crystal (primary Al phase) or a Zn-rich primary crystal (primary Zn phase). May be included.
- the Al-rich phase is an ⁇ Al phase (including an ⁇ 1 Al phase) in which Zn is dissolved, and is a primary Al phase unless otherwise specified.
- the Zn-rich phase is a Zn phase in which Al is dissolved, and is a primary Zn phase unless otherwise specified.
- the primary crystal is primary Al phase or primary Zn phase unless otherwise specified. According to the study by the present inventors, when the primary crystal (primary Al phase or primary Zn phase) of the Zn—Al-based alloy layer becomes coarse, the primary crystal (primary Al) is bent when the plated iron wire is bent. It was found that cracks occurred in the Zn-Al alloy layer along the boundary between the phase or primary Zn phase) and the eutectic structure. Therefore, the primary crystal preferably has a fine structure (crystal grain size).
- the groove bottom (concave) plating is formed very thick, but the convex plating is formed very thin. Therefore, uniform plating cannot be formed, the unevenness of the surface of the plating layer is reduced, and it is difficult to improve the slip resistance. Therefore, it is preferable to form irregularities by performing hot plating on the wire (iron wire) and then processing the surface of the plated iron wire.
- the present inventors have also found that the ratio of the width and depth of the recesses rather than the surface roughness, in order to substantially ensure the slip resistance of the irregularities formed on the surface of the Zn—Al plated iron wire. It was found that (recess shape ratio) and the number of recesses per unit area are important.
- the present inventors have found that the stability of the flux treatment is enhanced by forming predetermined irregularities (complex shape surface, fractal interface) on the surface of the iron wire (base material) before plating. Since the wettability of the plating is improved by improving the stability of the flux, the plating amount (plating time) can be easily adjusted, and the structure of the plating layer can be easily controlled. For example, by shortening the plating immersion time of the base material and increasing the cooling rate after immersion, the Fe—Al alloy generation layer is formed thin, and the primary crystal (primary Al phase or primary Zn phase) is fine. Can be Furthermore, since the interface between the base material and the plating layer is complicated, the plating adhesion of the Zn—Al plated iron wire is improved. In addition, since the oxide can be effectively removed from the plating surface and during plating, a clean plating layer surface can be obtained, and surface cracks and surface roughness are less likely to occur during processing.
- the Zn—Al plating in the present embodiment is mainly composed of a Zn—Al based alloy layer mainly composed of a Zn—Al based alloy (solid solution) and a Fe—Al based intermetallic compound or a Fe—Al—Si based intermetallic compound. And an Fe—Al-based alloy production layer. Further, the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer is generated at the interface between the base material of the Zn—Al-plated iron wire and the plating layer. Therefore, the Zn—Al plating (plating layer) includes components of the Zn—Al based alloy layer and the Fe—Al based alloy generation layer. Below, the component of a plating layer is demonstrated in detail.
- Al is an element that enhances corrosion resistance by forming a dense oxide film on the surface of plating rather than sacrificial corrosion protection.
- the Zn—Al plating needs to contain 3% or more of Al.
- the Zn—Al plating preferably contains 6% or more of Al.
- An Al amount of 6% corresponds to the eutectic point of the Zn—Al binary alloy. Therefore, in Zn—Al plating containing 6% or more of Al, during solidification, the Al-rich phase crystallizes before the Zn-rich phase, and the plating surface is protected by a dense oxide film, and the corrosion resistance is remarkably improved. .
- the Al content of the Zn—Al plating is more preferably 8% or more.
- the amount of Al in the plating layer is increased, the effect of improving the corrosion resistance increases.
- the Al content exceeds 15%, the effect of improving the corrosion resistance is saturated, and the melting point of the plating becomes higher than 450 ° C., which is disadvantageous in terms of operation.
- the Al content in the plating layer is 15% or less, the structure (for example, primary crystal Al phase) in the plating layer can be sufficiently refined. Therefore, the upper limit of the Al content of the Zn—Al plating is limited to 15%.
- the amount of Al in the Zn—Al plating layer can be controlled by the Al concentration in the plating bath.
- Fe contained in the Zn-Al plating (plating layer) is introduced by diffusion from the surface of the iron wire to the plating layer, and an Fe-Al alloy containing mainly Fe and Al is formed at the interface between the iron wire and the plating layer. A layer is formed. Accordingly, Fe in the Zn—Al plating varies depending on the thickness of the Fe—Al based alloy generation layer. If Fe in the Zn—Al plating exceeds 3.0%, the fatigue characteristics are likely to be deteriorated because the Fe—Al based alloy generation layer is too thick. Therefore, in order to achieve both the adhesion between the iron wire and the plated layer and the fatigue characteristics of the plated iron wire, the amount of Fe in the Zn—Al plating is limited to 3.0% or less.
- the thickness of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer In order to further improve the fatigue characteristics, it is preferable to reduce the thickness of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer. Therefore, it is more preferable to limit the amount of Fe in the Zn—Al plating to 2.0% or less.

- the plating layer contains 0.05% or more of Si
- the Zn—Al plating adheres more uniformly, and non-plating can be prevented.
- the amount of Si in the Zn—Al plating is 2.0% or less, the effect of suppressing the increase in the thickness of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer increases as the amount of Si increases.
- the amount of Si in the Zn—Al plating increases, the plating layer itself becomes harder and the fatigue strength decreases.
- the upper limit of the amount of Si in the Zn—Al plating it is preferable to limit the upper limit of the amount of Si in the Zn—Al plating to 2.0% or less. Furthermore, in order to ensure fatigue strength, it is more preferable to limit the upper limit of the Si content of Zn—Al plating to 1.5% or less.
- the plating layer contains Si
- the effects of the temperature of the plating bath and the cooling rate of the plating layer on the growth of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer are alleviated. Therefore, when the temperature of the plating bath is high or when the cooling rate of the plated iron wire is slow, it is extremely effective to contain Si in the plating layer in order to suppress the growth of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer.
- the Fe—Al based alloy generation layer in the Zn—Al plating is Fe—Al—Si in addition to the Fe—Al based intermetallic compound. Includes system granular crystals. Therefore, in this case, the Zn—Al plating (plating layer) comprises a plating layer mainly composed of a Zn—Al alloy (solid solution), an Fe—Al intermetallic compound, and an Fe—Al—Si granular crystal. It mainly includes an Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer (Fe—Al—Si-based alloy generation layer) as a main component.
- the balance other than Al, Fe, and Si contains Zn and inevitable impurities.
- the inevitable impurities are elements inevitably mixed in the process of plating such as Mg, Cr, Pb, Sb, Sn, Cd, Ni, Mn, Cu, and Ti.
- Si is not intentionally added to the plating bath, Si is present as an inevitable impurity in the plating layer.
- the content of the inevitable impurities is preferably limited to 1% or less in total.
- the chemical component of Zn—Al plating can be analyzed, for example, by the following method.
- a Zn-Al plated iron wire is immersed in an acid to which a pickling corrosion inhibitor is added for several minutes at room temperature to dissolve the Zn-Al plating, and then the chemical components of this solution are analyzed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectroscopy.

- the primary crystal primary Al phase or primary Zn phase
- the interface between the primary crystal (primary Al phase or primary Zn phase) and the eutectic structure becomes the starting point of cracking and peeling of the plating, and fatigue strength Decreases. Therefore, it is preferable to limit the average diameter of the primary crystals in the Zn—Al alloy layer to 10 ⁇ m or less so that the primary crystals do not adversely affect the fatigue strength. Furthermore, in order to increase the fatigue strength, it is more preferable to limit the average diameter of primary crystals to 5 ⁇ m or less.
- This primary crystal can be obtained by lowering the temperature of the plating bath, increasing the cooling rate of the plated iron wire after plating, or appropriately adjusting the temperature of the plating bath and the cooling rate of the plated iron wire after plating. It can be miniaturized.

Therefore, it is preferable to limit the upper limit of the average thickness of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer to 5 ⁇ m. In addition, the average thickness of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer is reduced, and the fatigue characteristics of the Zn—Al-plated iron wire are improved. For this reason, the average thickness of the Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer is more preferably 3 ⁇ m or less.

A thick Fe—Zn alloy production layer was formed.
- Comparative Example 51 since the alloy plating was performed using the two-bath method, a thick Fe—Al-based alloy generation layer remained.
- Comparative Example 52 since the fractal dimension was small and the amount of Si in the alloy plating was small, it was difficult to control the alloying reaction, and the alloy generation layer was greatly grown.

- Comparative Example 50 since the plating bath does not contain Al, an Al-rich phase is not formed.
- Comparative Example 53 since the amount of Al in the plating bath was small, primary crystals could not be clearly confirmed.
- Comparative Example 54 since the amount of Al in the plating bath was large, each primary crystal Al phase could not be clearly distinguished. Therefore, in Comparative Examples 53 and 54, the diameter of the primary crystal could not be measured.

- corrosion weight loss corrosion resistance
- surface properties surface properties
- workability wire mesh properties
- Corrosion resistance of the produced Zn-Al plated iron wire after the test of 1000 hours by a neutral salt spray test based on JIS Z 2371, to determine the corrosion weight loss (g / m 2) from a change in weight before and after the test Rated by.
- red rust was generated after this test
- the corrosion resistance was evaluated as “red rust generated”.
- the dry Zn-Al plated iron wire was die-drawn (processed) to a surface reduction rate of 80% using a dry lubricant, and the peeling rate of the molten Zn-Al plated iron wire was determined. When the peel rate was 20% or less, the workability was evaluated as “good”, and when the peel rate was less than 20%, the workability was evaluated as “bad”.
- the surface texture of the Zn—Al plated iron wire when the number of random rough surface portions was 5 or less per 1 m in length and no plating was confirmed, the surface texture was evaluated as “good”. When more than 5 rough skin parts per 1 m length are confirmed and non-plating is not confirmed, the surface texture is evaluated as “good”, and when more than 10 rough skin parts are confirmed, Alternatively, when non-plating was confirmed, the surface property was evaluated as “bad”. In addition, a rhombus wire mesh having a mesh size of 65 mm was manufactured from the plated iron wire, and the strength of the wire mesh, the uniformity of the mesh shape, and the mesh production were comprehensively evaluated.
- Comparative Example 50 is a pure galvanized iron wire
- Comparative Example 51 is a Zn—Al plated iron wire produced by a two-bath method.
- the Zn—Al plated iron wires of Examples 37 to 49 had good surface properties and excellent corrosion resistance. In particular, regarding corrosion resistance, the corrosion weight loss in the salt spray test was about 1/3 of the pure galvanized iron wire of Comparative Example 50. Further, the alloy generation layers (Fe—Al based alloy generation layers) of the Zn—Al plated iron wires of Examples 37 to 49 were prepared by the pure galvanized iron wire of Comparative Example 50 and the two-bath method of Comparative Example 51. It was thinner than Al-plated iron wire. Therefore, in the Zn—Al plated iron wires of Examples 37 to 49, the amount of peeling of the plating layer by wire drawing was small, the workability was excellent, and the overall evaluation as a wire mesh was excellent.
- Comparative Example 52 since the fractal dimension is small and the amount of Si in the Zn—Al plating layer is small, the plating processability becomes uneven, and a locally thick alloy generation layer is formed. Became uneven. Therefore, the plating adhesion was locally reduced, the surface properties were deteriorated, and the workability was lowered. In Comparative Example 53, the corrosion resistance deteriorated because the Al concentration in the Zn—Al plating layer was low. In Comparative Example 54, since the amount of Al in the Zn—Al plating layer was large, the melting point of the plating layer increased and non-plating occurred in a part of the plating layer.
- Comparative Example 55 the passing speed of the iron wire was low, and it took a long time until the water cooling was started after the plated iron wire was pulled up from the hot dipping bath. Therefore, alloying progressed and the amount of Fe in the plating layer increased. In addition, the alloy generation layer is thickened, the diameter of the primary crystal Al phase is coarsened, and the amount of plating adhesion is partially reduced by sagging of the unsolidified layer. Therefore, in Comparative Example 55, red rust was generated in the salt spray test due to a partial decrease in the amount of plating adhesion, and the surface properties were deteriorated due to sagging of the unsolidified layer.
- Example 38 since the Si content in the plating layer is 0.05% or more and 2.0% or less, the structure and hardness of the alloy generation layer are appropriately controlled. Therefore, the hardness of the alloy generation layer was optimized as compared with Example 48 in which the amount of Si in the plating layer was more than 2.0%, and the workability and wire mesh characteristics were improved. In addition, the structure (particularly the thickness) of the alloy generation layer was appropriately controlled as compared with Example 49, in which the Si content in the plating layer was less than 0.05%, and the workability and wire mesh characteristics were improved.
- a recess (deformed part) was formed on the surface of the plating layer of the third modification, and the slip resistance of the obtained plated iron wire was evaluated.
- a cold three roll processing device having a convex portion on the roll surface was placed in front of the scraping device and cold worked, and the molten Zn—Al plating was performed.

As the dimensions of the recesses, the recess depth, the ratio of the recess depth to the recess width (depth / width), and the number of recesses per unit area were changed.
- the shape of the recessed part was a rectangle.
- the dimensions of the recesses on the surface of the Zn—Al plated iron wire a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the Zn—Al plated iron wire was cut and polished, and this cross section was observed using an SEM, and the length measurement function provided in the SEM was used. The depth and width of the recess were measured.
- the number of recesses on the surface of the Zn—Al plated iron wire after applying the paint to the surface of the hot-dip plated iron wire cut to a length of 100 mm, it was transferred to paper and the portion where the paint was not transferred was judged as a recess. The number of recesses per 1 cm 2 was determined by image analysis.
- the slip resistance due to the formation of recesses on the plating surface was evaluated as follows.
- a diamond-shaped metal mesh having a mesh size of 65 mm, a length of 500 mm and a width of 500 mm was made from a Zn—Al-plated iron wire, the metal mesh was fixed on a horizontal base, and the surface of the metal mesh was moistened by spraying. Thereafter, a rubber piece having a weight of 4 kg was placed on a fixed wire mesh, the rubber piece in a stationary state was pulled in the horizontal direction, and the load when the rubber piece started to move (the maximum value of the tensile load) was measured.
- the coefficient of static friction was determined by dividing the maximum value of the tensile load by the weight of the rubber piece.
- All of the Zn—Al plated iron wires of Examples 56 to 61 had better slip resistance than the Zn—Al plated iron wires of Examples 62 to 64. Therefore, with the Zn—Al-plated iron wires of Examples 56 to 61, it was possible to make a wire mesh that is less slippery.
- the Zn—Al plated iron wires of Examples 56 to 64 had excellent corrosion resistance. That is, in the Zn—Al plated iron wires of Examples 56 to 61, the depth of the recesses provided on the surface of the Zn—Al plated iron wire was sufficient as compared with the Zn—Al plated iron wire of Example 62.
- the Zn—Al plated iron wires of Examples 56 to 61 had a sufficient number of concave portions on the surface as compared with the Zn—Al plated iron wire of Example 63.

ボックスカウンティング法によって求めたフラクタル次元が1.05未満であると、被めっき鉄線の表面が平滑であるため、フラックスの処理性が不均一になり、局部的に不めっきが発生することがある。例えば、図3に示すように、フラクタル次元が1.05未満では、めっき線の表面性状の評点が2未満であった。そのため、被めっき鉄線表面のフラクタル次元は、1.05以上である。また、フラクタル次元が大きくなると、フラックス処理性が改善され、めっき層と被めっき鉄線とがなじみやすい。そのため、めっき付着量の制御とめっき層の組織制御とを容易に行うことができる。加えて、めっき鉄線が強く加工された場合であっても、めっき層と被めっき鉄線との剥離を防止することができる。しかしながら、図3に示すように、フラクタル次元が1.30を超えると、めっき付着の安定性(フラックス処理性)が飽和する。したがって、凹凸を形成するためのコストを考慮すると、フラクタル次元は、1.30以下であることが好ましい。
N(r)∝r-D・・・(1)
フラクタル次元は、上記(1)式の指数Dである。フラクタル性がある場合には、マスの数N(r)とメッシュサイズrとの関係を最小自乗法で近似し、上記(1)式の指数Dの値を求め、この指数Dの値をフラクタル次元とする。
比較例12では、Alを含まない溶融亜鉛めっき浴を用いたため、めっき層と鉄線との界面部にFe-Al系合金生成層が形成されず、FeとZnとの合金化反応が進み、厚いFe-Zn系合金生成層が形成された。また、比較例13では、2浴法を用いて合金めっきを行ったため、厚いFe-Al系合金生成層が残存していた。比較例16では、鉄線の通線速度が遅く、めっきされた鉄線がめっき浴中から引き上げられた後、水冷されるまでの時間が長いため、合金生成層が大きく成長していた。また、比較例12では、めっき浴にAlが含まれていないため、初晶(初晶Al相)が形成されていない。比較例14では、めっき浴中のAl量が少なかったため、初晶(初晶Al相または初晶Zn相)を明瞭に確認できなかった。比較例15では、めっき浴中のAl量が多かったため、各初晶Al相を明瞭に区別できなかった。そのため、比較例14及び15では、初晶Al相の径を測定することができなかった。比較例16では、水冷開始までの時間が長かったため、初晶Al相が粗大化していた。比較例17では、フラクタル次元が1.05未満であり、地鉄(被めっき鉄線)の表面が平滑であるため、鉄線の通線速度を遅くすることによりフラックスの処理時間を長くしても、めっき付着量が低下し、不めっきが発生した。加えて、この比較例17では、鉄線の通線速度が遅く、水冷開始時間が3秒よりも長いため、めっき層中に形成された組織は、略合金生成層であった。したがって、初晶Al相の径が測定できなかった。比較例18では、フラクタル次元が1.05未満であり、フラックス処理性が低下した。また、この比較例18では、めっき浴中のAl濃度が低く、めっき層にFeが拡散して、合金生成層が成長したため、めっき層中のAl濃度が3.0%未満、Fe濃度が3.0%超であった。
上述の試験液を用いてめっき層を溶解し、ICP発光分光分析を行うことによって、Zn-Alめっき層のAl濃度及びFe濃度を測定した。Zn-Alめっき鉄線のめっき付着量は、JIS H 0401に準じて、間接法により算出された。めっき層の組織をSEMによって観察し、得られたSEM画像を画像処理して、円に換算した平均粒径(円相当径)として初晶の径を求めた。合金生成層の厚さは、めっき層の断面をTEMによって観察し、EDSを併用して測定された。また、鉄線とZn-Alめっき層との界面部の凹凸(フラクタル界面)をボックスカウンティング法を用いて評価し、フラクタル次元を求めた。
製造したZn-Alめっき鉄線の耐食性は、JIS Z 2371に基づいて中性塩水噴霧試験により1000時間の試験を行った後、試験前後の重量の変化から腐食減量(g/m2)を求めることによって評価された。また、この試験後に赤錆が発生していた場合には、耐食性(腐食減量)を「赤錆発生」と評価した。なお、めっき鉄線の耐食性要求を満足するためには、この腐食減量が、300g/m2以下である必要がある。加工性については、乾式潤滑剤を用いて溶融Zn-Alめっき鉄線を減面率80%までダイス伸線(加工)し、溶融Zn-Alめっき鉄線のめっきの剥離率を求めた。この剥離率が20%以下である場合には、加工性を「良好」と評価し、剥離率が20%未満である場合には、加工性を「不良」と評価した。また、めっき鉄線の表面性状について、ランダムな表面肌荒れ部が長さ1m当たりに5個以下であり、かつ不めっきが確認されない場合には、表面性状を「良好」と評価した。長さ1m当たりに5個超10個以下の肌荒れ部が確認され、かつ不めっきが確認されない場合には、表面性状を「良」と評価し、10個超の肌荒れ部が確認された場合、あるいは不めっきが確認された場合には、表面性状を「不良」と評価した。
比較例23では、フラクタル次元が1.05以上であるが、鉄線の通線速度が遅いため、合金生成層が大きく成長した。そのため、めっき層中のFe濃度が3.0%超であった。また、この比較例23では、水冷開始時間が3秒よりも長いため、初晶Al相が大きく成長していた。比較例24では、被めっき線が硬い材料であり、表面調整処理が不十分になったため、フラクタル次元が1.05未満であった。加えて、この比較例24では、めっき浴のAl濃度が高いため、溶融金属の融点が高くなり、初晶Al相が大きく成長した。比較例25では、鉄線の通線速度が遅く、初晶Al相が大きく成長した。また、この比較例25では、焼鈍工程で厚いスケールが生成し、酸洗を行ってもスケールが完全に除去されないため、フラックス処理が正常に行われなかった。そのため、めっき付着量が低下し、不めっきが発生した。比較例26では、めっき浴のAl濃度が低いため、溶融金属の粘性が高くなり、めっき付着量が増加した。しかしながら、この比較例26では、Feとめっき金属との合金化反応が進み、合金生成層が大きく成長した。
実施例1と同等のZn-Alめっき鉄線を製造する際に、ロール表面に凸部を有する冷間ロール加工装置を捲取装置の前に配置して冷間加工し、溶融Zn-Alめっき鉄線の表面に凹部を形成した。溶融Zn-Alめっき鉄線表面の凹部の形状及び寸法は、ロール表面の凸部によって制御された。この凹部の寸法として、凹部深さ、凹部の幅に対する凹部深さの比率(深さ/幅、凹部形状比)、単位面積あたりの凹部の数を変化させた。なお、凹部の形状は、矩形であった。
また、実施例48では、めっき層中のSi量が2.0%超であり、実施例49では、めっき層中のSi量が0.05%未満であった。
上述の試験液を用いてめっき層を溶解し、ICP発光分光分析を行うことによって、Zn-Alめっき層のAl濃度、Si濃度及びFe濃度を測定した。合金生成層の厚さ及びめっき層の組織を評価するために、めっき鉄線の断面を研磨後、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡(FESEM)及びEDSを用いて1000~30000倍で5視野以上を観察した。めっき層の組織は、画像処理により評価され、合金生成層の厚さは、めっき層組織の顕微鏡(FESEM)の測長機能を用いて、10箇所を測定した平均値により評価した。JIS H 0401に準じて、めっき付着量を間接法により算出した。めっきの組織をSEMによって観察し、得られたSEM画像を画像処理して、円に換算した平均粒径(円相当径)として初晶の径を求めた。合金生成層の厚さは、めっき層の断面をTEMによって観察し、EDSを併用して測定された。また、鉄線とZn-Alめっき層との界面部の凹凸(フラクタル界面)をボックスカウンティング法を用いて評価し、フラクタル次元を求めた。
製造したZn-Alめっき鉄線の耐食性は、JIS Z 2371に基づいて中性塩水噴霧試験により1000時間の試験を行った後、試験前後の重量の変化から腐食減量(g/m2)を求めることによって評価された。また、この試験後に赤錆が発生していた場合には、耐食性(腐食減量)を「赤錆発生」と評価した。加工性については、乾式潤滑剤を用いて溶融Zn-Alめっき鉄線を減面率80%までダイス伸線(加工)し、溶融Zn-Alめっき鉄線のめっきの剥離率を求めた。この剥離率が20%以下である場合には、加工性を「良好」と評価し、剥離率が20%未満である場合には、加工性を「不良」と評価した。
なお、実施例38では、めっき層中のSi量が0.05%以上かつ2.0%以下であるため、合金生成層の組織と硬度とが適切に制御されている。そのため、めっき層中のSi量が2.0%超である実施例48に比べて合金生成層の硬度が最適化され、加工性及び金網特性が向上した。また、めっき層中のSi量が0.05%未満である実施例49に比べて合金生成層の組織(特に、厚み)が適切に制御され、加工性及び金網特性が向上した。
実施例37と同等のZn-Alめっき鉄線を製造する際に、ロール表面に凸部を有する冷間3ロール加工装置を捲取装置の前に配置して冷間加工し、溶融Zn-Alめっき鉄線の表面に凹部を形成した。溶融Zn-Alめっき鉄線表面の凹部の形状及び寸法は、ロール表面の凸部によって制御された。この凹部の寸法として、凹部深さ、凹部の幅に対する凹部深さの比率(深さ/幅)、単位面積あたりの凹部の数を変化させた。なお、凹部の形状は、矩形であった。
