Analysis on Alloying Elements of Selective Oxidation of TRIP Steel

Abstract

Two kinds of TRIP steel with different Al and Si content were researched in this article. Different annealing atmosphere in the trial was achieved by the Hot Dip Galvanized Simulator by Iwatani. The segregation of alloying elements after annealing under different atmosphere were investigated and the compounds on the surface were shown. Furhermore, the distribution of oxides was abserved on the surface and the reactive wetting was assessed and the results after galvanizing was provided. We found out the increasing wettability was abserved under more reducing atmosphere with less Si because of a decrease oxide amount and an increase internal oxidation.
