Abstract

Selective electrolytic dissolution of the η-zinc layer of continuous galvanized steel sheet has been utilized to uncover the Fe–Al intermetallic layer which inhibits the formation of other binary Fe–Zn intermetallic compounds. The characterization of the Fe–Al–Zn compounds by scanning electron microscopy, Mössbauer spectrometry and semi-grazing X-ray diffraction brings new enlightment about the conditions which control nucleation and growth as well as collapse of the inhibition layer and the resulting morphology of the coating.
