title = "Synergistic influence of the addition of Al, Ni and Pb to a zinc bath upon growth kinetics and structure of coatings",
abstract = "In this paper the current knowledge about the influence of alloy additions used in galvanizing baths has been analysed. The optimum concentration of Al, Ni and Pb addition has been established. Tests have been conducted to determine the synergistic influence of the addition of AlNiPb in a zinc bath upon the structure and growth kinetics of coatings. The structure and the chemical composition of coatings obtained on steel with low silicon contents and on Sandelin steel have been developed. It has been determined that the synergistic influence of the AlNiPb addition effectively lowers the reactivity of Sandelin steel and it improves zinc's flowing off the product surface which results in decreased zinc consumption and better appearance of the coating. The structure of coatings obtained in a Zn-AlNiPb bath on Sandelin steel is similar to the structure of coatings obtained on low-silicon steel.",
