Mechanical Properties of Parts with Tin Coating Obtained by Hot-Dip Method

Abstract:

Hot-dip process leading to creation of protective coating is one of the effective ways to protect metals from corrosion. It provides the way to obtain the coating with required physical, mechanical and chemical properties. However, contact of solid metal part with the liquid metal bath during this process may lead to changes in mechanical properties or, in extreme cases, to premature failure of the part. This is mainly due to the effect called LME. The author has researched the likelihood of occurrence of this phenomenon in parts subjected to metallization in zinc bath or in zinc bath with additions of tin or bismuth. The presented results are a continuation of these research and include an assessment of the possibility of LME occurrence in parts metallized in tin bath and subjected to external stress.
