Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for adjusting the composition of a zinc alloy, intended for the dip galvanizing of steels, including silicon steels, the alloy consisting of zinc of commercial purity with a weight content of 1,000 to 15,000 ppm lead and as additives of aluminum, tin and magnesium at weight contents selected from the respective ranges (Al) 100 to 5,000 ppm, (Sn) 300 to 20,000 ppm, and (Mg) 10 to 1000 ppm, the process consisting in adding to the molten zinc alloy, deficient in at least one additive, at least one metallic composition, soluble in molten zinc, and comprising relatively high content of at least one additive in quantity such that the deficit is compensated for.
  • the invention also relates to metallic compositions suitable for implementing the method.
  • Zinc with commercial purity corresponding to AFNOR NFA standards, classes Z6 and Z7 has maximum contents defined in Copper, Cadmium and Iron. In addition, it has maximum lead contents (15,000 p.p.m. for class Z6, 5,000 p.p.m. for class Z7). These lead contents, originally defined by the conditions for the production of zinc, have proved to be favorable for galvanization by lowering the viscosity of the molten zinc, so that they have been maintained while the evolution of the processes metallurgical allows the production of zinc with lead contents lower than 1000 ppm Frequently the categories Z6 and Z7 are currently obtained by adding lead to zinc.
  • Aluminum presence reduces torque reactivity iron / zinc, and at the levels indicated above, the reactivity of zinc with respect to silicon steels.
  • Tin and magnesium are active in reducing or eliminating the lack of coverage caused by the alumina formed by oxidation of aluminum. The simultaneous presence of tin and magnesium leads to remarkable results.
  • the invention also proposes a method for adjusting the composition of a zinc alloy, intended for the dip galvanization of steels; including silicon steels, the alloy consisting of zinc of commercial purity with a weight content of 1,000 to 15,000 ppm of lead, and as additives, aluminum, tin and magnesium to content by weight chosen from the respective ranges (Al) 100 to 5,000 ppm, (Sn) 300 to 20,000 ppm and (Mg) 10 to 1,000 ppm, process according to which the molten zinc alloy is added, deficient in at least one additive, at least one metallic composition soluble in molten zinc and comprising at relatively high content at least one additive, in an amount such that the deficit is compensated, characterized in that, while the tin composition is this metal in a practically pure state, the composition of magnesium is a ternary alloy zinc, magnesium, aluminum with by weight 5,000 to 50,000 ppm of magnesium and 10 to 500 ppm of aluminum, and the aluminum composition, added in an amount which takes into account the possible addition of ternary zinc
  • composition chosen from the zinc alloy for galvanization will correspond to the preferred compositions presented by French patent 2,366,376.
  • Nickel and copper are metals to be avoided in gal coatings vanization considered. Iron could have been tolerated in view of the traces of iron which inevitably dissolve in the alloy during the immersion of steel parts. However, the beryllium iron alloys hardly dissolve in zinc at 600 ° C.
  • the beryllium supply is obtained using a ternary zinc / aluminum / beryllium alloy, produced by dissolving an aluminum beryllium alloy containing 4-8% beryllium in pure zinc.
  • the weight composition of the ternary alloy is: aluminum 5,000 to 50,000 ppm, beryllium aluminum weight ratio 11.5 to 24 and zinc the rest.
  • the term zinc is used here in its usual meaning of base metal containing common impurities at levels where the properties of the metal, in relation to the intended application, are not appreciably affected.
  • impurities and alloying elements or additives which, at the specified contents, act on the properties of the base metal, in relation to the intended application.
  • the base metal contains, as initial impurity an element which is intended as an additive, at a content significantly higher than that of the initial impurity
  • the content as an additive means the sum of the initial content in impurity, and the amount of additive added thereafter.
  • a preferred composition of galvanizing alloy with aluminum, tin, magnesium and beryllium additives corresponds to: tin 500 + 25 ppm, aluminum 375 + 25 ppm, magnesium 60 + 3 ppm and beryllium 6.5 + 0.5 ppm, zinc at 1000-15000 ppm of lead constituting the remainder.
  • the ternary alloys preferred for supplying magnesium and beryllium respectively have weight compositions of magnesium 30,000 + 1,500 ppm, aluminum 100 + 5 ppm, and aluminum 9,000 + 450 ppm, beryllium 470 + 50 ppm, in both cases the rest being zinc.
  • zinc which constitutes at least 95% of the alloy by weight, can withstand some losses by oxidation without the composition of the alloy being substantially modified; lead and tin, less oxidizable than zinc, suffer only negligible losses by oxidation.
  • lead and tin less oxidizable than zinc, suffer only negligible losses by oxidation.
  • aluminum and magnesium disappear by oxidation relatively quickly. The readjustment of the composition of the alloy requires preferential additions of aluminum and magnesium.
  • the magnesium oxidizes in depth, and is close to its spontaneous ignition temperature in the air. Moreover, for the normal development of the galvanizing alloy, one operates so as to minimize the oxidation of aluminum and magnesium by preventing them from being in contact with air.
  • each of the metallic compositions used is assigned to a particular additive metal, in the sense that the concentration of the additive targeted in the composition must be much higher than the concentration in the alloy, while the concentration ratios of the other metals in the composition are not too far from what they are in the alloy or at least that the concentration ratios of the constituents of the composition relative to that of the targeted additive are .nettly lower than the ratios in the alloy.
  • aluminum there is a zinc aluminum alloy at 5% by weight of aluminum, its composition corresponding to the eutectic at melting point 385 ° C., and is therefore suitable as a metallic composition assigned to aluminum. .
  • magnesium there is a zinc / magnesium eutectic at 3% by weight of magnesium, with a melting point of 367 ° C.
  • This eutectic is unfortunately too fragile to be industrially usable, the cast ingots breaking on cooling, or during transport and essential handling.
  • the compositions sufficiently close to the eutectic to have an acceptable melting point (less than about 450 ° C.) are practically also ⁇ too fragile.
  • the addition of small amounts of aluminum significantly reduced the brittleness of the zinc / magnesium binaries. The effect begins to be felt at 10 p.p.m. (by weight) of aluminum.
  • the presence of aluminum reduces the oxidation of magnesium when the ingot is poured. At around 100 p.p.m.
  • Suitable metal compositions are obtained with 5,000 to 50,000 p.p.m. by weight of magnesium and the above-mentioned amounts of aluminum. We prefer a composition close to eutectic with 30,000 + 1,500 p.p.m. of magnesium and 100 + 5 p.p.m. of aluminum.
  • Example 1 Elaboration of a ternary zinc, magnesium, aluminum.
  • Example 2 Constitution of a tin, aluminum, magnesium galvanizing bath.
  • beryllium is felt for very low contents, from 4 ppm (by weight). Above 100 ppm, it can be seen that, at the usual temperature of galvanizing baths in operation, segregation of the beryllium collects on the surface and is evacuated with the dross. It was also found, from 15 ppm by weight of beryllium, for baths with a relatively high aluminum content, greater than 550 ppm, a synergistic action of aluminum and beryllium on the kinetics of the iron-zinc reaction (formation of intermetallic compounds).
  • Example 3 Development of a zinc-aluminum-beryllium ternary.
  • Example 1 In the induction furnace used in Example 1, 495 kg of zinc Z9 is melted under a neutral atmosphere. The temperature is raised to around 600 ° C. and 4.75 kg of beryllium aluminum alloy containing 5.25% beryllium are added. The temperature is maintained at 600 ° C. until intimate dispersion of the aluminum beryllium in the zinc, under the action of electromagnetic stirring.
  • the alloy is poured into ingot molds that are energetically cooled.
  • beryllium has also made it possible to somewhat reduce the tin bath contents, since tin is intended in particular to take over from magnesium when the content of the latter metal has lowered in the bath by oxidation, and that beryllium reduces the speed of magnesium oxidation.
  • Example 4 Constitution of a tin, aluminum, magnesium, beryllium galvanizing bath.
  • the consumption of the components of the bath is due, on the one hand, to the sampling of alloy constituting the coverings of part, and on the other hand to the oxidation of some of these components in contact either with the galvanizing flux, or with the air entrained by the parts upon immersion in the molten alloy.
  • Example 5 Maintenance of a dip galvanizing bath.
  • alloy compositions may vary within the range of the ranges indicated.
  • the encrypted value is understood as a central value in a usual range, such as + 5 X.
