Abstract


A short review of the kinetics models for the formation of Fe-Zn alloy phases in the galvannealing process is presented. It will focus on the continuous process which is often used by the automotive industry. A first mathematical approach of the kinetics growth of the δ phase has been done, using a continuous hot-diping process simulator which resembles the conditions of the galvannealing process in production lines. Hold time and the galvannealing temperature as well as the weight of the coating were varied. The preliminary results of the iron content and proportion of δ phase in the coating are in agreement with the results obtained by other authors.
