Continuous hot dip galvanizing
Buildup of Fe-Zn-coatings by different Si-contents of steel
Painting of dot dip galvanized steel (Duplex-coating)
Corrosion properties of hot dip galvanized surfaces in different corrosion atmospheres and waters and soils
Welding of galvanized steel structures
Core content level learning outcomes (knowledge and understanding)
The students knows the principles of hot dip galvanizing processes. He or she knows the effect of steel composition, especially Si-content, on the coating, its microstructure and properties. He knows the effect of dipping time and temperature and different pretreatments on the coating properties. He also knows the importance of the design of steel structures on the hot dip galvanizing to be performed safely. He knows the corrosion properties of hot dip coated surfaces and also the benefits of duplex-painting.
Core content level learning outcomes (skills)
The student can perform in practice hot dip galvanizing and can analyse the effect of Si-content and shot blasting on the thickness and microstructure of the zinc coat.
