Durability of Adhesive Bonds to Zinc-Coated Steels: Effects of Corrosive Environments on Lap Shear Strength

The effects of corrosive environments on adhesive bonds to electro-galvanized, zinc/aluminum alloy coated, coated electro-galvanized, and cold-rolled steels have been investigated. Bonds prepared using a rubber-modified dicyandiamide-cured epoxy adhesive, an epoxy-modified poly(vinyl chloride)-based adhesive, an acrylic-modified poly(vinyl chloride)-based adhesive a one-part urethane adhesive, and a two-component epoxy-modified acrylic adhesive were exposed under no-load conditions to constant high humidity or cyclic corrosion exposure for 50 days or 50 cycles (10 weeks) respectively.

Over the course of this study, exposure to constant high humidity had little effect on lap shear strength for any of the systems studied. Bond failures were initially cohesive, and with few exceptions remained so.

Bond strength retention under the cyclic corrosion exposure conditions employed was strongly dependent on adhesive composition and on substrate type. On galvanized substrates, lap shear strengths for the poly(vinyl chloride)-based adhesives were reduced by 90–100% during the course of the corrosion exposure, and a change in the mode of bond failure (from cohesive to interfacial) was observed. On the coated electro-galvanized steel substrate, the poly(vinyl chloride)-based adhesives showed about 50% retention in lap shear strength and a cohesive failure throughout most of the corrosion test. The dicyandiamide-cured epoxy adhesive used in this study generally showed the best lap shear strength retention to zinc-coated substrates; bonds to cold-rolled steel were severely degraded by corrosion exposure. The performance of the acrylic and urethane adhesives were intermediate to the dicyandiamide-cured epoxy and poly(vinyl chloride)-based adhesives in strength retention.     

Wetting behavior of eutectic Al–Si droplets on zinc coated steel substrates

Transient spreading behavior, joint properties and metallurgical compositions are investigated for different hot-dip and electro-galvanized zinc coatings. The main focus is set on the effect of coating thicknesses and droplet size. While most of the droplets are observed on surfaces at room temperature, the case of pre-heated substrates is also accounted for. Both the coating thickness and the droplet size have little effect on the resulting wetting angle compared to the effect of preheating or the absence of a coating. The transient spreading behavior significantly differs for different coating types. The coating thickness affects heat transfer into the substrate during the initial stage of wetting. The metallurgical composition shows that the coating is removed over a broad interfacial area, while it accumulates at the toe of the deposited braze metal most likely due to fluid dynamic effects.

Corrosion kinetics and patina evolution of galvanized steel in a simulated coastal-industrial atmosphere

The corrosion kinetics and patina (corrosion products) layer evolution of galvanized steel submitted to wet/dry cyclic corrosion test in a simulated coastal-industrial atmosphere was investigated. The results show that zinc coating has a greater corrosion rate during the initial period and a lower corrosion rate during the subsequent period, and the patina composition and structure can greatly affect the corrosion kinetics evolution of zinc coating. Moreover, Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ and Zn₄(OH)₆SO₄ are identified as the main stable composition and exhibit an increasing relative amount; while Zn₁₂(OH)₁₅Cl₃(SO₄)₃ cannot stably exist and diminish in the patina layer as the corrosion develops.     

Protective mechanisms occurring on zinc coated steel cut-edges in immersion conditions

Electrochemical processes occurring on the cut-edge of a galvanized steel immersed in NaCl solutions were studied using numerical simulations, and in situ current and pH profiles measured over the cut-edge. These results clearly demonstrate that only the steel surface remote from the zinc coating is cathodically active, oxygen reduction being strongly inhibited in the vicinity of zinc. This trend was confirmed by local polarization curves recorded on these distinct areas. Ex-situ AES and SEM analysis and cathodic polarization curves in solutions containing Zn²⁺ ions led to conclude that this cathodic inhibition was related to the fast nucleation of a dense Zn(OH)₂ film on the steel surface. After a long term exposure, a new galvanic coupling takes place between the Zn(OH)₂ covered area, showing an anodic activity, and the remaining steel surface covered by bulky white zinc corrosion products.     

Degradation mechanism of galvanized steel in wet-dry cyclic environment containing chloride ions

The wet-dry cyclic test of a galvanized steel (GI) and pure zinc (ZN), which simulates marine atmospheric environment, has been conducted to clarify the degradation mechanism of galvanized steel. The samples were exposed to alternate conditions of 1 h-immersion in a 0.05 M NaCl solution and 7 h-drying at 25 °C and 60%RH, and the corrosion was monitored for 10 days (30 cycles) using a two-electrode type probe. Simultaneously, the corrosion potential was measured every three cycles only during the immersed conditions. The reciprocal of polarization resistance R_p⁻¹ was taken as an index of the corrosion rate. Several sample plates of GI and ZN were exposed, together with the monitoring probes. They were removed from the test chamber at the end of 1st, 3rd, 9th, 18th, and 30th cycles of exposure and were analyzed for the corrosion products with XRD and laser Raman spectroscopy. Further, their cross sections were analyzed with FESEM-EDS. The FESEM photographs and elemental analysis of cross sections confirmed that the R_p⁻¹ value commences to decrease when the corrosion front reaches Zn-Fe alloy layers (boundary layers of zinc coating and steel substrate) due to localized nature of attack. A schematic model of degradation mechanism and the role of galvanic protection have been discussed.     

Influence of drying temperature on the corrosion performance of chromate coatings on galvanized steel

The influence of drying temperature on the corrosion performance of chromate coatings on electro‐galvanized (EG) steel has been investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic measurements in 3.5% NaCl solutions. The chromate coatings were applied to the EG steel in a solution (pH 1.2) containing sodium dichromate and sulfuric acid at room temperature. The coatings were dried in an oven at three different temperatures: 60, 110 and 210°C. The surface of the chromate coatings was analyzed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy‐dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The results show that the drying temperature significantly affects the morphology of the chromate coatings and consequently affects their corrosion behavior. The chromate coatings dried at 110°C had few cracks and the lowest corrosion current. The chromate coatings dried at 60°C showed passivity. The EIS results show that the chromate coatings dried at 60°C has the largest impedance in a neutral 3.5% NaCl solution. Drying at higher temperature (210°C) degrades the chromate coatings by widening the cracks and reducing soluble Cr(VI) in the chromate layer. The favorable drying temperature for the chromate coatings on the EG steel is between 60 and 110°C.
