Continuous Hot‐Dip Galvanizing of Medium‐Manganese Third‐Generation Advanced High‐Strength Steels

The effects of process atmosphere oxygen partial pressure (pO 2 ) on the preimmersion surface structures, interfacial reactive wetting products, and reactive wetting mechanisms of two prototype (0.15–0.20)C–(5.6–5.9)Mn–(0.4–1.9)Al–(1.1–1.5)Si–(0–0.6)Cr (wt%) third‐generation advanced high‐strength steels during continuous hot‐dip galvanizing are determined. In this study, the two‐stage thermal processing routes employed comprise an …
