Abrasive wear of different hot-dip galvanized multilayers

Abstract

More and more steel constructions are provided with zinc coatings as durable protection against corrosion.Hot-dip galvanizing process is widely used in Europe considering its favourable characteristics. Latelybeside the corrosion resistance demand of hot-dip galvanized coatings as a new requirement is theabrasive wear resistance. The industrial floor boards, agricultural walking grids get heavy abrasion effect.The abrasive wear resistance of zinc coatings with multilayer structure is not tested yet, less knowndomain.
