Abstract

The addition of large amounts of chrome and nickel is employed to increase the oxidation and corrosion resistance of steels. Zinc or tin coating is often used for low-alloyed steels; however, the use of such elements can cause environmental problems. Some alloying elements, such as nickel and copper, are detrimental to recycling processes, due to the difficulty of removal when scrap steel is melted. Therefore, it is important to improve the corrosion and oxidation resistance of steels without the use of these elements. Aluminizing is considered to be an attractive alternative treatment in this respect. Aluminized steels are beneficial in the steel making process when they constitute part of the steel scrap, because aluminum acts as scavengers for oxygen in molten steel. A new powder liquid-coating method is proposed for the aluminization of iron.1) Phase estimation during coating process and oxidation resistance of coated layer were discussed in the previous paper.2,3) The aim of this study is control of the surface aluminum concentration in the coated layer.
