Abstract: | Layer formation by hot dip galvanizing between 435°C and 620°C in conventional zinc melts – a general presentation For four typical constructional steels with different Si‐content and enamelling steel the layer growth and the structure of the forming coats is examined as a function of the dipping duration, the melt temperature and the thermal pretreatment. The results are discussed with regard to the experimentally determined hydrogen effusion of the steel. For the temperature range from 435°C to 620°C a pattern is presented, which is applicable for the daily work in the normal and high temperature range. |
