Influence of Cold Rolling Process on Mini Spangle Formation of 55%Al-Zn Alloy Coating Steel Sheet

Abstract:

According to that mini spangle is the most common defect affecting the appearance quality of hot-dip 55%Al-Zn alloy coated steel sheet, industrial experiments and statistical analysis were done to investigate the influence of cold rolling process on the formation of mini spangle. The results show that, with the decrease of rolling oil concentration, the increase of rolling time, and the increase of rolling pass, the probability of mini-spangle formation increases. Due to the different equipment conditions, the probability of mini-spangle formation on the upper and lower surfaces of steel strip is different. The reason of mini-spangle formation lies in the presence of carboxylates (R-COO-Fe) result from the residual emulsion on the surface of cold rolled steel strip. The carboxylates may interfere with the interfacial reaction between the steel substrate and Al-Zn bath, and result in more convex Fe₅Si₂Al₂₀ phases formed on the surface of intermetallic compound layer. The Fe₅Si₂Al₂₀ phases may provide more heterogeneous nucleation sites for the formation of Al-rich dendrites and lead to the formation of mini spangle.
