Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hot-dip galvanized aluminum-magnesium alloys, and specifically relates to a method for improving the corrosion resistance of coatings based on refining the eutectic structure of ZAM alloy coatings. Background Technology

[0002] Steel, as the most widely used material in modern industry, is highly susceptible to corrosion in many environments (seawater, soil, atmosphere, etc.). Statistics show that approximately one-fifth of the world's annual steel production is scrapped due to corrosion each year. Steel corrosion not only causes serious economic losses but also threatens human lives and causes environmental pollution and damage. Therefore, research on steel corrosion and protection is urgently needed.

[0003] Currently, hot-dip galvanizing is considered one of the most direct and effective methods for protecting steel, and it is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, communications, and construction industries. With economic and social development and increasingly higher requirements for coating quality, traditional pure zinc coatings no longer meet production and usage standards. Therefore, the development of new, high-quality coatings has become a hot research topic.

[0004] To improve the coating thickness, surface quality, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanized steel sheets, microalloying is often employed, which involves adding specific alloying elements to the zinc bath. The addition of these alloying elements affects the melting point, viscosity, and surface tension of the zinc bath, thereby altering the growth behavior of intermetallic compounds in the coating and ultimately changing its properties. For example, adding Ti to a hot-dip Zn-Al alloy not only improves the surface quality of the coating but also refines its microstructure. The addition of Ti allows for the formation of a dense oxide film on the alloy coating surface, thus enhancing its corrosion resistance. Conversely, adding a small amount of Mg to the zinc bath can improve its fluidity and inhibit excessive coating growth.

[0005] Tong Chen et al., in their study on the effect of Mg content on Zn-6%Al coatings, found that when the Mg content was 3%, the interlamellar spacing of the ternary eutectic structure in the alloy coating decreased, the structure became more uniform and dense, and the coating exhibited the best corrosion resistance. Therefore, further refining the ternary eutectic structure in Zn-6%Al-3%Mg alloy coatings through microalloying to improve the corrosion resistance of the coating has become a current research focus.

[0079] Comparative Example 1

[0080] (1) Weigh the Zn-6%Al-3%Mg alloy by mass percentage.

[0081] (2) Place the graphite crucible into the medium frequency induction furnace and put in the Zn-6%Al-3%Mg alloy block.

[0082] (3) The furnace is heated to 460°C, stirred, and slag is scraped off. A layer of covering agent (a mixture of KCl, NaCl, and Na3AlF6 in a mass ratio of 4:5:1) is added to the surface of the alloy liquid. After holding the temperature for 30 minutes, it is poured into a metal mold to obtain the ZAM master alloy.

[0083] (4) Remelt the master alloy at 460℃; after holding at this temperature for 10 minutes, immerse the pretreated Q235 steel plate in the alloy liquid for 3 minutes, remove it, and air cool it. The pretreatment process for the Q235 steel plate is as follows:

[0084] The Q235 steel plate was immersed in a 15% NaOH aqueous solution and alkaline washed at 60℃ for 5 minutes. After removal, it was rinsed with water and dried. Then, it was immersed in a 10% hydrochloric acid solution and acid-washed at room temperature for 5 minutes. After removal, it was rinsed with water and dried. Finally, it was immersed in a flux (a mixed aqueous solution of NH4Cl + ZnCl2 + SnCl2 + KCl with concentrations of 170 g / L, 230 g / L, 50 g / L, and 100 g / L, respectively) at 80℃ for 10 minutes. After removal, it was placed in a drying oven for later use.

[0085] The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the hot-dip Zn-6%Al-3%Mg alloy coating obtained through the above steps are shown below. Figure 1As shown, it can be seen that the eutectic structure of the coating is relatively coarse, and the alloy layer is relatively thick.

[0086] The present invention uses a neutral salt spray test to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0087] First, prepare a 5 wt.% NaCl solution and add it to the salt spray chamber;

[0088] Wash the surface of the sample with anhydrous ethanol and dry it with a hair dryer.

[0089] The surface area S is obtained by measuring the dimensions of the sample with vernier calipers.

[0090] Next, the weight of the sample was measured using an electronic balance;

[0091] After all measurements are completed, place the sample into the salt spray chamber. The temperature of the salt spray chamber should be controlled at 35±2℃ and the pH should be 6.5~7.2.

[0092] The sample was placed at an angle of 65±5° to the horizontal direction, and the corrosion time was 30 days.

[0093] Every 6 days, the samples were removed, rinsed with water for 3 minutes, and dried in a 100℃ drying oven for 30 minutes before being weighed. The resulting change curve is shown in the figure. Figure 7 As shown.

[0094] This study uses the weight gain method to measure the corrosion rate of the samples, thereby evaluating the effect of Ca on the corrosion resistance of the coating. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0095] V = (W2 - W1)·S -1 ·T -1

[0096] In the formula, V represents the corrosion rate of the galvanized sheet, expressed in g·m³. -2 ·h -1 ;

[0097] W1: Weight of the sample before corrosion, in g;

[0098] W2: Weight of the sample after corrosion, in g;

[0099] S: Exposed area of ​​the sample, m2;

[0100] T: Corrosion cycle, h.

[0101] The mass of the coating before and after corrosion was measured and substituted into the calculation formula to obtain the corrosion rate of coatings with different Ca contents, as shown in Table 1 below.

[0102] Table 1

[0103]

[0104]

[0105] The results show that with the addition of Ca, the corrosion rate of the Zn-6%Al-3%Mg alloy coating continuously decreases; and the lower the corrosion rate of the coating, the higher its corrosion resistance.

[0106] The corrosion rate was minimized to 0.4444 g·m when the Ca content was 0.09%. -2 ·h -1 Therefore, the alloy coating with Zn-6%Al-3%Mg-0.09%Ca exhibits the best corrosion resistance.

[0107] In summary, this invention provides a method for refining the eutectic structure of ZAM alloy coatings and improving their corrosion resistance by adding trace amounts of calcium. First, the ZAM alloy is heated to 660°C. After the alloy melt is completely melted, a pre-mixed Al-10Ca master alloy, along with additional zinc and magnesium blocks, is added. After holding at this temperature for 30 minutes, the mixture is cast to obtain the master alloy required for hot-dip galvanizing. Then, the alloy blocks are remelted at 460°C and held for 10 minutes. A pre-treated Q235 steel plate is immersed in the alloy melt for 3 minutes, then removed and air-cooled. This invention can significantly refine the Zn / Al / MgZn2 ternary eutectic structure in the zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy coating, thereby significantly improving its corrosion resistance.

[0108] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the present invention.
