Abstract
Aluminized steel sheet is a material with excellent heat resistance, thermal reflection and corrosion resistance. It has wide applications, owing to its low cost and excellent performance, in the petrochemical industry, electric power and other energy conversion systems, etc and has attracted the attention of many investigators. But the welding of aluminized steel sheet has a problem of decreasing tensile-shear strength, caused by mixed Al in the weld. This study investigated behavior of Al and its structural properties to resolve this problem. Several analysis equipment(SEM, EDX, EPMA) were used to investigate Al element in the weld. Also microhardness tester and TEM equipment were used to find the intermetallic compound. As a result of this study, Al-rich zones existed in the weld and Fe-Al intermetallic compounds were found in these zones. At the same time, the weldability of aluminized stainless steel sheet was investigated and compared with that of aluminized steel sheet. Although there is a difference between the base metal of the low carbon steel and stainless steel, it is interpreted that a behavior of Al element in the weld is similar.
