Analysis of Intermetallic Compounds in 316L SS during the Electro Deposition Process Using Coating of Al-Zn-Mg-Si Alloy

This study looked into how changes in temperature and time during the electrodeposition process affected the mechanical characteristics of stainless steel coatings. In order to enhance their mechanical properties, stainless steel substrates were coated with aluminium, zinc, magnesium, and silicon alloys. While SS 316L exhibited superior mechanical properties at an optimum temperature, its topographical features were found to be diminished during the galvanizing process. To address this issue, the study immersed SS 316L plates in the electrodeposition process for varying durations, ranging from 30 to 60 minutes, at different temperatures. The microstructural analysis revealed the effects of these modifications on the coatings. In this research, we take six specimens. Three specimens are coated without annealing and three specimens are coated with annealing at different immersion time.
