METHOD AND ALLOY FOR DIP GALVANISING OF STEEL CONTAINING SILICIUM, AND END PRODUCT SO GALVANISED

摘要

SHORT DESCRIPTION The invention relates to galvanizing steel objects, including those which contain silicon. It relates to a galvanizing process employing an electroplating bath which contains an amount of germanium of between 0.005 to 0.2% by weight, preferably in the presence of 0.5 to 1.5% by weight of lead. Due to the excellent fluidity and surface tension properties, the bath can be used to 440 ° C, and form excellent coatings, even on steels containing silicon, at a reduced temperature, of the order of 440 ° C. Application galvanizing killed steel and semi-killed silicon. (See Figure 1)
