Reactive wetting of high Mn steels during continuous hot-dip galvanizing
Abstract
An electrobalance was used to study the reactive wetting of a series of Mn-containing steels ranging in composition from 0.14wt.% to 5.1wt.% Mn by a 0.20wt.% dissolved Al continuous galvanizing bath as a function of immersion time, alloy Mn content and annealing atmosphere pO2. It was found that the wetting force for the 1.4–5.1wt.% Mn alloys was significantly less than that for the 0.14wt.% Mn alloy due to the formation of a significant MnO …
