Abstract

The metallographic technical preparation influence on hot dip deposited zinc layer intermetallic phases investigation and distribution was the aim objective in this work. The base material was SAE 1020 carbon steel and specimens with and without zinc layer detachment was selected after the submission to adherence test base on hammer impact. Three different grinding and polishing technique were employed and the phases were investigated by optical metallographic technical as well as through a scanning electron microscope with an EDS system. The different metallographic techniques have no effect on the phase determination and distribution.
