After steel sheets (0.37 wt.% Si) pre-electroplated with a thin layer of pure Fe were immersed in molten zinc for various times, the change in the microstructure of the galvanized coating on the steel and the change of the alpha-Fe/F interface were studied. The EDS results show that excessive silico...
