Abstract

Carbon steel is one of the materials widely used in industries due to its low price and mechanical properties; however, it needs improvement to provide corrosion resistance in industrial applications. The Al-Si coatings on low carbon steel were modified by the hot dipping technique and inspect the effects of the dipped time on the thickness of the coating in molten Al-Si alloy at 850°C for 15,30, 60, 90, and 120 sec. Two layers appeared outer coating as a thick Al-Si phase and inner coating as a thin Al-Fe phase. The thickness and hardness of the coating layers increase with immersion time increased. The lower micro hardness was (130~250HV), and the higher micro hardness was (490~ 900HV) due to the increase of the Al- Fe inter metallic layer. However, Al-Fe inter metallic prolonged growth, which 900 HV was a higher micro hardness and 140µm thickness values for120 sec. .Keywords: Al-Si alloy, Hot dipping, Low carbon steel, Mechanical properties, Surface treatment.
