Effect of Chemical Degreasing on Corrosion Stability of Components in Automobile Industry

Abstract:

This research deals with the corrosion stability of components with a galvanized surface. The aim is to determine how corrosion resistance is influenced by chemical degreasing. The ZiNi galvanizing method in a bath line was performed on 10 components; another 10 pieces were treated by the same galvanizing method, but without previous chemical degreasing. After measuring the thickness of coating, components were inserted into a salt spray corrosion chamber. The test showed that components with a complete galvanizing process revealed no signs of red corrosion after 456 test hours. In components without chemical degreasing, there were signs of red corrosion after 200 test hours. After this research, we can conclude that chemical degreasing in galvanizing processes has a high influence on corrosion resistance.
