Enhancing adhesion and anti-corrosion performance of hot-dip galvanized steels by sandblasting/phosphating co-treatment

The substations outdoor steel structures employed in aggressive marine environments can accelerate corrosion damage and cause incredible degradation of performance. Hot-dip galvanizing and organic coating dual-coated anticorrosion system is currently the most effective and efficient protection strategy. In present paper, sandblasting and phosphating technique were applied to the surface of zinc plating, the effect of various grit-blasting and phosphating technology conditions on the adhesion performance and corrosion resistance of duplex-coated system were systematically investigated. Results revealed that the bonding strength of the duplex coating after grit-blasting and phosphating pretreatment was 3.25 and 2.71 times higher than that of the untreated, respectively. In particular, sandblasting and phosphating coprocessing of duplex coating could furtherly improve the adhesion behavior and corrosion resistance, which mainly due to their synergistic effect. Sandblasting can rough the surface of galvanized coating and generate many pits and scratches. Thus, phosphating can form more needle-like zinc phosphate crystals in those positions, anchoring and pinning firmly the interface between galvanized coating and organic coating. Meanwhile, the phosphating film still acted as an anti-corrosion physical barrier to hinder the intrusion of corrosive medium and protect galvanized steels from storage rust before painting for a long time.
