Abstract
Traditional hot-dip galvanized coatings, typically single-silver in color, present increasing aesthetic challenges in diverse applications, while prevailing organic coating methods involve complex processes with high energy consumption and pollution emissions. In this study, a novel hot-dip process for in-situ synthesis of color coating on steel was proposed, capable of producing various uniform color coating. The microstructure of color coatings on steel was systematically examined, and an assessment of their corrosion and weather resistance was conducted. The results demonstrate the sequence of typical color variation is gold, purple, blue, cyan, red, green, and grey. By controlling the immersion temperature range, and regulating the final stable color of the oxide film. The coloration mechanism mainly is attributed to the light interference on the Mn oxide film. The cyan and brown coatings mainly consist of the dense rod-like ζ-FeZn13 phases which provide a structural foundation for corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the brown coating exhibited excellent weather resistance.
