Effects of Si in Coating Bath on The Reaction between

Molten Aluminum and Steel Sheet

Yukio UCHIDA, Mitsuru FUJITA, Yusuke HIROSE

Low-carbon rimmed steel sheets were dipped into pure Al and Al-Si alloys by a gas reductionn
type aluminizing instrument to study the effects of Si on the reaction between steel sheets and
molten Al under short time dipping. The growth of an alloy layer at steel-coating interface, the
phase change of intermetallic compounds in the alloy layer and the wetting characteristics between
steel sheets and molten metals were investigated by means of an observation of cross-sectional
microstructure, an X-ray diffraction technique, an X.M.A. and a meniscograph measurement. The
results obtained are as follows. 1) The alloy layer in aluminizing with pure Al bath was composed
of -phase (Al5Fe2) and -phase (Al3Fe). Increase of the alloy layer thickness with dipping time was

devided into two parabolic growth steps. It was considered that the growth of the alloy layer is

controlled by an internal diffusion of AI through -phase in the first step and through -phase in the

second step respectively. 2) When the steel was dipped in Al-2.5%Si bath, the alloy layer was

composed of -phase, -phase and (Al, Fe, Si) H-phase. The growth rate of the alloy layer with Al-2.5

%Si was much lower than that with pure Al bath.3)The alloy layer formed by dipping into
Al-8%Si bath was composed of only (Al, Fe, Si) H-phase and it did not grow for dipping time up to
30 seconds. 4) The wetting force between steel sheets and pure molten Al in which the alloy layer
formation was vigorous, was as high as 400dyn/cm, but that between steel sheets and molten Al-8%
Si in which the growth of the alloy layer was not detected, was as low as about 50dyn/cm. From
these results, it was considered that the (Al, Fe, Si) H-phase, an outermost alloy layer, has the inhibi-
tion effects on the reaction between steel sheets and molten Al.
