The invention relates to a
zinc alloy used by steel
structural component in
zinc hot dip plating and the
ingot shape and the method thereof. The
alloy component and the weight per cent are of 0.008 per cent (wt) to 0.012 per cent (wt) Al, 0.04 per cent (wt) to 0.06 per cent (wt) Ni, 0.02 per cent (wt) to 0.08 per cent (wt) Bi, 0.006 per cent (wt) to 0.01 per cent (wt) RE, and
zinc and
impurity as the rest composition. The
ingot shape is of T-shaped cuboid with two symmetrical ear curls; wherein, the bottom of the cuboid is a plane; the ear curls are provided with hoisting holes; the cuboid is of four included side planes, taking in a big top and small bottom shape. The zinc hot dip plating method is to melt the
alloy directly into
zinc bath; the application is simple; the
zinc bath alloy elements Al, Bi, Ni and RE with stable and uniform content can alleviate or eliminate the Sandelin Effect generated by an active steel
galvanization, perfect the
wetting behavior and flow property of the iron matrix and the
zinc bath, improve
corrosion resistance performance and mechanical performance of the
coating, reduce the thickness of the
coating and lower the cost. With the appropriate shape as well as
ingot weight, the zinc alloy ingot shape has the advantages of able to meet zinc adding requirement of the
large capacity galvanization equipment, convenient hoisting and fork transport, small specific surface area, suitable for storage and multiple
layers stacking tier, saving storing room, and stability as well as safety.
