Profilometric Assessment of Surface Condition of Zinc Coatings Formed by the Continuous Galvanizing Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents the results of research on surface condition of zinc coatings. Profilometric studies were performed for zinc coatings formed in industrial continuous hot-dip galvanization process and for the same coatings after two years of use. The results include the geometrical shape of 2D and 3D surfaces, distribution of vertices on the surface and roughness and waviness profiles. The parameters Ra, Rz, Sa and Sz were used to define the surface roughness. The study was conducted using FRT Microprof optical profilometer with data acquisition and analysis by MARK III software package.
