摘要

Hot-dip galvanized products are widely used in various fields of production and daily life due to their excellent corrosion resistance. Some studies have incorporated a fourth trace alloying element into Zn-Al-Mg coatings to form quaternary alloys for enhanced performance. In this work, three Zn-Al-Mg alloy ingots with trace Bi/Sb additions were prepared by induction melting, with compositions of Zn1.5Al1.0Mg1.0Bi, Zn1.5Al1.0Mg1.0Sb, and Zn1.5Al1.0 Mg, respectively. Melting was conducted in a heating furnace under an argon-protected atmosphere to obtain solidified microstructures. The solidification microstructure and corrosion behavior of Zn-Al-Mg alloys with Bi/Sb additions were investigated via microstructure characterization, electrochemical tests, and immersion experiments. Basic calculations were performed to predict the properties of Bi/Sb-added Zn-Al-Mg alloys. The microstructure and phase composition of the alloys were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical Tafel curves and Nyquist plots of Zn-Al-Mg alloys with different Bi/Sb contents showed that, with the addition of Bi/Sb, the corrosion current density decreased while the impedance value increased, indicating that the corrosion resistance of Zn-Al-Mg alloys was improved by Bi/Sb additions. The precipitation of Bi2Mg3 and Mg3Sb2 phases was identified through EBSD diffraction analysis, and the morphology and distribution of these precipitated phases were studied.
