Abstract

Article presents the state of knowledge relating occurrences of liquid metals embrittlement. The results of experimental investigations of the LME phenomenon, reasons of its formation and influence of different parameters are described. Selected ideas of the applied research methods accessible in different works are presented. Samples made of C70D steel with tensions stretching (400-800 MPa) at different values and kinds of loading during the hot dip metallization were investigated. Coating processes in two bath: zinc and zinc with 2 % tin addition were made. The processes of hot dip metallization were done at 450 °C temperature and immersion time 180 s. Coated samples were investigated by light microscope to specify possibility appear of LME effect.
