1 Effect of Galvanizing on High Performance Steels and their Weldments Summary of the IZA ZC-21 Project 1. Background This summary is intended to provide industry with a mechanical property-based outline of the effects of galvanizing on some modern US and European steels. It provides reassurance to designers of steel structures that the galvanizing process does not have any significant effect on the mechanical properties of a range of high performance steels. The main target reader is the structure designer or structural engineer. The document also provides a basis for communication and dissemination of key information by the galvanizing industry. The starting point for the present work was the comprehensive 1975 British Nonferrous (BNF) Metals Technology Centre report on Galvanizing Characteristics of Structural Steels and their Weldments 1, which provided reassurance that the galvanizing process was not detrimental to the mechanical properties of steel and formed the background to the current use of galvanizing on welded structural steels. In the intervening 30 years there have been changes in steelmaking practices, however, and the introduction of new grades of high strength structural steels. These developments make an update to the BNF work for modern steels a useful addition to knowledge of the effects of the galvanizing process on the mechanical properties of several steels used in the construction, building and bridge industries. Additional work has therefore been performed at the University of Plymouth under two contracts for the International Lead Zinc Research Organization (Galvanizing High Performance Steels for the Construction Market) and provides an update to the mechanical property aspects of the BNF report for S275JR and S355K2 steels to BS EN :2004, P460NL1 steel to BS EN :2003, and ASTM A36, A572 Grade 50 and A572 Grade 65 steels. S275 and S355 are hot rolled non-alloy structural steel grades, while P460 is a normalised, fine grained weldable pressure vessel steel. A36 is a carbon structural steel while A572 Grade 50 and Grade 65 are high-strength low-alloy columbium-vanadium structural steels. 2. Galvanizing of Steels and Structures Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) is a process whereby steel sheet, fabricated steelwork, structural steel assemblies or small parts are immersed in a bath of molten zinc, resulting in a metallurgically bonded alloy coating that protects the steel from corrosion. It is a well-established and effective method of protecting steel articles from corrosion. The protection arises because zinc provides a stable barrier between steel and the atmosphere. In addition, zinc and steel form a galvanic couple where the zinc coating is anodic with respect to the steel substrate and hence corrodes preferentially. Hence, galvanizing provides a high level of protection even if the zinc coating is damaged during service. In common with most coating processes the secret to achieving a good quality galvanized coating lies in the preparation of the surface. It is essential that this is free of grease, dirt and scale on the iron or steel before galvanizing. These types of contamination are removed by a variety of processes. Common practice is to degrease using an alkaline or acidic degreasing solution into which the component is dipped. The article may then be rinsed in cold water and then dipped in hydrochloric acid at around ambient temperature to remove rust and mill scale. A fluxing operation then removes EGGA Engineering Summary October
2 the last traces of oxide from the surface and allows the molten zinc to wet the steel. Fluxing is usually performed by dipping the articles in a solution of about 30% zinc ammonium chloride at around C. Gavanizing is accomplished on the clean steel surface through immersion in molten zinc for perhaps 4-5 minutes at a temperature of about 440 C to 460 C. A series of zinc-iron alloy layers are formed by a metallurgical reaction between the iron and zinc. Figure 1 shows a metallurgical section of a typical zinc coating on low carbon steel at two different magnifications; the different layers of iron-zinc intermetallic phases can be clearly seen in Figure 1b. a 250μm b 100μm Figure 1 Metallurgical section of a typical zinc coating on low carbon steel. On withdrawal from the galvanizing bath a layer of molten zinc will be taken out on top of the zinc-iron layer. This often cools to exhibit the bright shiny appearance associated with galvanized products. In some cases, however, the alloying reaction between the steel and zinc is sufficiently rapid that the molten zinc layer is transformed completely to zinc-iron alloy before the article has had time to cool. This results in a coating that can be a matte grey in appearance. The change in appearance does not alter the corrosion resistance of the coating. The thickness of the galvanized coating, and therefore the corrosion life, depend on a number of factors with steel composition, surface roughness, bath temperature and immersion time being the major variables. A thicker zinc coating will be obtained if the article to be galvanized is manufactured from a more reactive steel. The constituents in steel that have the greatest influence on the iron/zinc reaction are silicon, which is frequently added to steel as a deoxidant during its production, and phosphorous. Grit blasting of the steel surface prior to immersion, roughens and increases the surface area of steel in contact with the molten zinc. This can increase the weight per unit area of a hot dip galvanized coating by up to 50%. The importance of galvanizing as a method of corrosion protection of steel articles and structures is indicated by the record figure in 2008 of more than 700,000 tonnes of steel that were protected by this process in the UK and Ireland. As heating to around 450 C is an integral part of the galvanizing process is it important to investigate whether there are any effects of galvanizing on the mechanical properties of steels or on weldments in the steels. Exposure of cold-worked steels to a temperature of around 450 C means that the possibility of strain-age embrittlement or, in the case of very high strength steels, hydrogen embrittlement exists.

3 3. Other Work on the Influence of Hot-dip Galvanizing on Structural Steels The 1975 BNF report considered the possibility of effects on the mechanical properties of a wide variety of steels from six countries in the form of 12.7 mm thick plate. The findings of that work were that the galvanizing process had no effect on the tensile, bend or impact properties of any of the structural steels investigated when they were galvanized in the as-manufactured condition. Nor did even the highest strength steels exhibit hydrogen embrittlement following acid pickling. Changes in mechanical properties were detected only when the steel had been cold worked by rolling prior to gavanizing but only certain properties were affected. Thus the tensile strength, yield strength and tensile elongation were unaffected, except that the tensile elongation of 40% cold rolled steel tended to be increased by gavanizing. The impact strength of some cold rolled steels was decreased by gavanizing, with the change in properties being comparable to, or less than, that caused by cold rolling alone. Susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement depended on the strength level; steels cold rolled to tensile strengths >800 MPa exhibited hydrogen embrittlement after pickling but this was largely alleviated by the zinc immersion cycle even for the highest strength steel considered (930 MPa tensile strength). The work in the BNF study hence indicated that the galvanizing process had no detrimental effects per se on the mechanical properties of structural steels in use at that time. In recent years there have been other studies performed and reported that have assessed the influence of hot dip galvanizing on the mechanical properties of modern grades of structural steels. Work performed by the Czech Galvanizers Association 2 considered the influence of each step in the galvanizing process on the mechanical properties of 4 types of structural steel; low carbon S235 steel with low silicon content (0.011%), a similar low carbon steel grade with silicon content of 0.204%, low carbon Q380TM steel low-alloyed with niobium (0.036%), and low carbon Q460TM steel lowalloyed with vanadium (0.029%) and niobium (0.046%). These specimens were 3.8mm to 4.8mm thick and their properties were assessed after: Hot rolling from continuously cast slabs 150mm thick down to the final test thickness. Pickling for about 20 minutes in 15% solution of hydrochloric acid at 35 C. Degreasing for about 20 minutes at 40 C. Flux application for about 20 minutes in a mixture of zinc chloride (72%) and ammonium chloride (28%) at 50 C. Hot-dip galvanizing for about 2.5 minutes at 450 C. The final conclusions of this very thorough investigation were that the mechanical properties (upper yield point, tensile strength and ductility) of the 4 steels were not affected by the individual galvanizing operations, nor was there any effect on the Charpy notch toughness measured by impact testing for the steels (measured differences were small and attributed to microstructural heterogeneity) and no microstructural changes were observed. Finnish work on an ultra-high strength steel grade developed for thin section (3-6mm) light weight construction, particularly for structural members on mobile equipment has also been reported 3. This steel had yield strength and impact toughness values that met the requirements for the quenched and tempered steel designations S890QL to EN It has the proprietary name Optim 900 QC where the number refers to the minimum specified yield strength of the steel. Amongst other work, this study considered the effect of pickling and hot-dip gavanizing on the mechanical and impact toughness properties. Ultra-high strength martensitic steels are more susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement than ferrite-pearlite steels. Pickling was done in two stages using 8% hydrochloric acid solution and 14% hydrochloric acid solution in the two EGGA Engineering Summary October
4 stages. Pickling times of 20s + 20s and 60s + 60s were used to represent typical pickling and over-pickling conditions. Slow strain rate tensile tests were performed 1 hour and 1 week after pickling along with slow strain rate 150 bend tests over a mandrel. No influence of the pickling process on the tensile or bend properties was observed. In the hot-dip galvanizing tests, dipping times of 3, 6 and 9 minutes were used. Specimens were pickled in hydrochloric acid for 135 minutes, flushed in water for 0.5 minutes, dipped in flux for 0.5 minutes and immersed in a zinc bath at 455 C. The heat of the galvanizing process reduced the tensile strength slightly and increased the yield strength slightly, with negligible effect on ductility. Work in Austria 4 has considered the effect of hot-dip galvanizing on the mechanical properties of two grades of ferritic-bainitic steels with minimum tensile strength values of 450 MPa (HR45) and 600 MPa (HR60). These are carbon-manganese steels which have low levels of microalloying additions of titanium and niobium and are produced by multi-stage cooling on the hot strip mill to allow controlled transformation hardening to occur. Their strength level lies between HSLA steels and dual-phase steels. Conditions during hot-dip galvanizing were not stated, but the HDG process led to slightly higher yield strength values and slightly reduced elongation values compared with the hot rolled condition of the two steels. All these studies demonstrate that there are no deleterious influences of hot dip galvanizing, per se, on the mechanical properties across a wide range of structural steels. These data indicate that the HDG process generally produces a slight decrease in tensile strength, a slight increase in yield strength and slight but variable changes in ductility/elongation, which can either decrease or increase. Small decreases in Charpy impact energy have sometimes been observed after hot-dip galvanizing, but recorded values of absorbed energy remained well above the values specified for the steel. 4. Work Performed Under IZA ZC-21-1 The work performed under IZA ZC-21-1 used grade S275 and S355 steels to BS EN :2004, P460 steel to BS EN :2003, and ASTM A36, A572 Grade 50 and A572 Grade 65 steels. It considered a number of steel conditions, ranging across various permutations of as-rolled (AR), V-notch welded, 10% and 40% cold rolled, and galvanized. Table 1 gives details of the conditions tested for each grade of steel. 4.1 Materials and Procedures The steel plates were sourced, rolled and galvanized via the Gavanizers Association, West Midlands and the IZA, North Carolina. The S275 and S355 grades were supplied through Corus but were sourced in the Far East and Eastern Europe respectively. The P460 grade was supplied through Steel Plate & Sections Ltd and sourced in Western Europe. The A36 (Gerdau Ameristeel) and A572 Grade 50 (Nucor Steel) and Grade 65 steels were sourced in the United States. Table 2 gives a structural steel comparison table in terms of the specified minimum yield strength class and the actual carbon equivalent value (CEV) measured in the plates. Plate thickness was 11.5 mm for the US grades of steel and 12.5 mm for the European grades. For each material condition the following test specimens were machined: 3 tensile test samples 5 Charpy impact samples 1 hardness test sample Additionally, for the European steels grades 2 U-bend specimens were machined and tested.

6 specimens with the notch machined parallel to the plate surface. For the 40% coldrolled plates, the final thickness of approximately 7mm meant that sub-size Charpy specimens had to be machined with sizes 10x5mm. In the case of welded specimens the Charpy notch was machined centrally in the weld cap run. Figure 2 Dimensions of the tensile specimens machined from unwelded plate.

7 Figure 4 Dimensions of the U-bend specimens machined from welded plate. 4.2 Mechanical Properties The first point to be made regarding the effect of galvanizing on the tensile, impact or bend properties of these steels is that there is only a very minor effect of hot-dip galvanizing in all conditions tested. For all six grades of steel, the data indicate that HDG has generally beneficial effects on the 0.5% proof and tensile strengths, i.e. they are slightly decreased, whilst still remaining significantly higher than required by the standard specification. This in turn leads to generally higher values of tensile elongation being recorded after HDG, with particularly beneficial results being recorded with some of the cold-rolled 40% specimens. This increase arises from the recovery stage of annealing experienced during the HDG thermal cycle. HDG has a slight effect on the impact energy which is variable depending on the steel metallurgy and condition. A reduction in elongation is observed with welded conditions of the A36 and A572 steels, which is believed to be related to the occurrence of centre-line defects in the welds. It should be noted that 40% reduction in thickness due to cold-rolling leads to a significant increase in tensile strength, potentially making structural steels more susceptible to a range of embrittlement problems. In practice, for all six steel grades, HDG did not lead to any observable changes in fracture surface appearance and generally led to increased elongation values. The overall conclusion is that HDG is not deleterious to the mechanical properties of prime interest in structural use of steel. Tables 4 and 5 respectively present summary mechanical property data for the European and US steel grades. These tables summarise 0.5% proof strength, tensile strength, elongation to fracture and Charpy impact energy (measured at 20 C). Bend test data can be summarised as follows: for unwelded specimens there were no differences in performance between those that were not galvanized and those that were galvanized; all specimens were successfully bent through 180. For the welded specimens, when cracking was observed it was associated with weld defects and not with any influence of galvanizing. The maximum tensile strain data for the unwelded specimens was measured during the test from cross-head extension on the testing machine (and checked with a 50mm extensometer during the initial part of the test). It was checked after fracture from the elongation between two marks scribed 50mm apart on the specimen gauge length. The EGGA Engineering Summary October
8 maximum tensile strain and elongation to fracture in per cent show reasonable agreement. In all cases the unwelded specimens broke close to the centre of the gauge section. For the welded specimens tensile failure occurred predominantly in the weld metal. Considering the tensile data for the three European grades of steel in the unwelded condition (Table 4), there is a general trend for yield and tensile strength to increase with rolling reduction, and for both values to decrease slightly as a result of the HDG process. As expected, elongation does the reverse and steadily decreases with rolling reduction, but also shows a recovery of ductility with HDG. In all cases of as-received material elongation values are higher than those specified in the relevant standards. In all three grades of steel, the Charpy impact values (Table 5) decrease somewhat for the as-received and cold rolled 10% conditions after HDG, but are less affected in the cold rolled 40% condition. Nonetheless the as-received values exceed the requirements of the standards. The tensile data for the welded conditions show similar trends to those discussed above, although the Charpy impact values are sometimes higher after HDG, e.g. for the S355 cold rolled 10% condition and for all three conditions of P460 steel. Considering the tensile data for the three US grades of steel in the unwelded steel condition, there is a general trend for yield and tensile strength to increase with rolling reduction. The effect of the HDG process on tensile properties is variable from steel to steel. Observed variations in data reflect the steel metallurgy and condition more than the influences of galvanizing. Data for the unwelded grades can be summarised as follows. The A36 as-received condition is more-or-less unchanged by the HDG process, while the cold rolled conditions show decreased proof strength and increased tensile strength after HDG. Strain to failure in the cold rolled 10% and cold rolled 40% conditions of the A36 steel increases after HDG. Charpy impact energy values decrease slightly in this steel after HDG in the as-received and cold rolled 10% conditions but increase in the cold rolled 40% condition. EGGA Engineering Summary October

13 In the cold rolled conditions of the A572 Grade 50 steel, HDG slightly decreases the tensile and proof strength values and increases the strain to failure. For the as-received condition proof and tensile strength are slightly decreased while the strain to failure is increased. Charpy impact energy values are generally little affected in all conditions. For the A572 Grade 65 steel the tensile and proof strength values are generally decreased in the cold rolled 10% and cold rolled 40% conditions and increased in the asreceived condition after HDG. Strain to failure in this alloy steel shows the reverse trend, i.e. it is decreased in the as-received condition and increased in the cold rolled conditions. Charpy impact energy is beneficially affected by HDG in the cold rolled conditions. In summary, the data indicate that hot-dip galvanizing in these six grades of structural steel has generally beneficial effects on the 0.5% proof and tensile strengths, and a slight effect on the impact energy which is variable depending on the steel metallurgy and condition. In all cases the mechanical properties of the as-received plate exceed the specification requirements by a significant margin, in either the galvanized or ungalvanized conditions. This is demonstrated in Figures 5-10, which give spider diagrams that compare the specified mechanical properties for each grade of steel with the measured values before and after galvanizing.

Regions of brittle fracture were observed in association associated with weld metal, where they constitute defects in the weld. Such defects were present in 2 of the S275 samples, 7 of the S355 samples, 9 of the P460 samples, 12 of the A36 samples, 17 of the A572 Grade 50 samples and 8 of the A572 Grade 65 samples. Defects ranged from porosity to local areas of brittle fracture (often associated with the mid-plane of the weld) and were visually estimated to vary in size from approximately 2% of fracture surface area to around 25-30% of fracture surface area. The variation in tensile properties caused by these defects appears to be subsumed within weld-to-weld differences. Figures show the appearance of typical fracture surfaces for unwelded and welded tensile specimens in the European steel grades. Figures 11 and 12 illustrate typical fracture surfaces for all the unwelded conditions tested. To represent the welded conditions the cold rolled 40% samples have been chosen, because fracture occurred in the weld metal in all such specimens. Figure 13 shows typical fracture surface appearance and illustrates the type of weld defects observed on the fracture surfaces. Figures 14 and 15 show typical examples of the tensile fracture surfaces for both unwelded and welded specimens in the three grades of US steel. 4.4 Steel Microstructure When discussing microstructural sections or fracture planes it is useful to use a standard definition of the directions in a rolled plate. Figure 16 illustrates the set of axes used here describe the steel microstructures. Typical microstructures for all the steel grades, taken transverse to the tensile or Charpy specimen fracture plane, are shown in Figures They are generally as expected for such steels; all grades except the P460 steel EGGA Engineering Summary October
17 showing normalised ferrite-pearlite structures which are banded in the through-thickness direction, reflecting the plate rolling processes, while the P460 grade shows a higher level of tempered carbides in the structure. The tensile tests indicate that this banding does affect the short transverse toughness, evidenced by internal delamination during tensile testing, particularly in the A572 Grade 50 steel. The amount of pearlite in the A572 Grade 50 steel is noticeably lower than either A36 or A572 Grade 65 steels, reflecting the lower carbon content of 0.06 in this steel, compared with values of in the other two steels.
