Abstract


Hot dip Zn and 55 % Al - 1.6 % Si - 43.4 % Zn alloy (55Al-Zn) coated steel sheets were submitted to uniaxial tension with the aim of evaluating the strain and failure type as well as their corrosion performance in the salt spray cabinet test. As the degree of strain increased, the basal orientation of the Zn coating turned into a prismatic one. Furthermore, the development of many twins, some intergranular cracks and few intragranular ones could also be observed. On the other hand, in 55Al-Zn alloy coatings, the α phase crystallographic orientation changed from {311} towards {100} and {331}, whilst the β phase crystallographic orientation {10.1} did not change. In this material the only failure type observed was the cracking of the interdendritic component. In salt spray cabinet the anticorrosive performance of steel/55Al-Zn sheets was much better than that of the galvanized ones.
