The formation process of hot-dip galvanizing layer is the process of forming an iron-zinc alloy between the iron matrix and the outermost pure zinc layer. The iron-zinc alloy layer is formed on the surface of the workpiece during hot-dip plating, which makes the iron and pure zinc layers very close. Good combination, the process can be simply described as: when the iron workpiece is immersed in the molten zinc liquid, a solid solution of zinc and α-iron (body center) is first formed on the interface. This is a crystal formed by dissolving zinc atoms in the base metal iron in a solid state. The two metal atoms are fused, and the gravitational force between the atoms is relatively small. Therefore, when zinc reaches saturation in the solid solution, atoms of zinc and iron diffuse into each other. The zinc atoms that diffuse into (or penetrate into) the iron matrix migrate in the matrix lattice and gradually form an alloy with iron. The iron in the molten zinc liquid forms an intermetallic compound FeZn13 with zinc, which sinks to the bottom of the hot-dip galvanizing pot and becomes zinc slag. When the workpiece is removed from the zinc immersion solution, a pure zinc layer is formed on the surface, which is a hexagonal crystal. Its iron content is no more than 0.003%.
