The Dissolving Reaction of Solid Iron with Molten Zinc

고체철-용융아연의 용해반응

The dissolving and growth kinetics of intermetallic compounds for the reaction between solid iron and molten zinc were studied under nitorgen atmosphere over the temperature range between470$^{\circ}C$ and 680$^{\circ}C$. The rates of dissolution of solid iron into molten zinc were obtained under a static conditon, The amount of dissolution of sold iron and the growth of intermetalic compounds could be determined by means of microscopy. The thickness of intermetallic compound at a given temperature increases with increasing time, whereas for a given time decreases with increasing temperature . The rate of dissolution is controlled by the diffusion process of iron in the effective boundary layer of molten zinc over the temperature range 470$^{\circ}$-530$^{\circ}C$, 570$^{\circ}$-620$^{\circ}C$, and 650$^{\circ}$-665$^{\circ}C$, while by the surface reaction over the range 530$^{\circ}$-570$^{\circ}C$ and 620$^{\circ}$-650$^{\circ}C$.
