Abstract

The reactions between a low alloyed steel and a pure as well as a 2% silicon containing aluminium melt where studied at 780 and 792‡ C, respectively. The velocity of the iron enrichment was the same for both cases, whereas the alloy layer growth was much faster in the case of the pure aluminium melt. After hot dip aluminizing in the 2% silicon containing aluminium melt silicon was found to be incorporated in the alloy layer. From that it is clear that silicon acts on the solid state side, when reducing the alloy layer thickness during hot dip aluminizing.
