Characterizing reactive wetting kinetics of high-Mn dual-phase steels in hot-dip galvanizing baths
Abstract
High-Mn (> 2.5 wt%) steels have seen limited use in automotive applications due to the limitations imposed by continuous hot-dip galvanizing. Tenacious oxides which form during annealing have been seen as hindering the reactive wetting process, resulting in low quality coatings. Characterization of the reactive wetting process has usually been limited to qualitative observations of the coating after processing and is quite subjective. A method …
