Four types of steel sheets containing 0.04%, 0.09%, 0.14% and 0.36% Si, respectively, were electrodeposited with a nickel layer of 3 μm in thickness and then galvanized in molten Zn at 450°C for various periods of time. The formation and growth of intermetallic compound layers on the surface of the...
