PREPARING METAL FOR MELT COATING

Steel is prepared for hot-dip coating in molten zinc, by forming lead chloride on it in a greater mass (at least 12g/m ) than possible by evaporation from saturated aqueous solution. One way of so forming the lead chloride is to cathodise the steel (24000 coulomb/m ) in 1:1 HCl saturated with lead c...

Zusammenfassung:Steel is prepared for hot-dip coating in molten zinc, by forming lead chloride on it in a greater mass (at least 12g/m ) than possible by evaporation from saturated aqueous solution. One way of so forming the lead chloride is to cathodise the steel (24000 coulomb/m ) in 1:1 HCl saturated with lead chloride, and air-dry the steel. The steel thus prepared is dipped for 2 minutes in molten zinc or, for greater corrosion resistance, in molten scrap zinc.
