Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A low-temperature fracture technique was used to expose an extremely thin Al interface located between a very thick hot-dip galvanized coating and a steel substrate. The representative sample was saw-cut through the steel substrate just short of the hot-dip galvanized interface, immersed in liquid nitrogen and fractured. The exposed Al-rich boundary layer was analyzed by scanning Auger microscopy (SAM) to determine the effects of the galvanizing process on the boundary layer development.
