Hot-dipping aluminizing of 45 steel was carried out in molten Al baths containing 0.0, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 wt.% Ni at 710°C for 10, 120, 300, and 600 s. The coatings were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and e...
