Analysis of the Properties of Anticorrosion Systems Used for Structural Component Protection in Truck Trailers.

The article compares the properties of coatings (cataphoretic, hot-dip zinc, and thermo-diffusion zinc) applied to steel components used in the automotive industry. The research focused on the analysis of corrosion resistance, hardness measurements, and tribological properties conducted on steel guides used in trailer and truck body structures as well as fasteners (M12 × 40 bolts). The base surfaces were cleaned chemically.

Comparative Analysis of Coatings Applied for Anti-Corrosion Protection of Public Transport Vehicles' Structural Parts.

The conducted research focused on anti-corrosion systems applied for the protection of structural parts used in public transport vehicles. Detailed tests were carried out on samples taken from the brackets supporting the doors of a public transport bus. This work includes the results of the chemical analysis of the composition of snow-mud samples taken from the selected bus route and the results of laboratory tests performed on samples with various anti-corrosion coatings.

The Influence of Heat Treatment on Corrosion Resistance and Microhardness of Hot-Dip Zinc Coating Deposited on Steel Bolts.

The analyzed topic refers to the corrosion resistance and changes in microhardness of the heat-treated (HT) hot-dip zinc coating deposited on bolts. The research aimed to evaluate the influence of the HT on the increase of the coating hardness and changes in anticorrosion properties. Hot-dip zinc coating was deposited in industrial conditions (acc.

The Comparative Analysis of the Coatings Deposited on the Automotive Parts by the Cataphoresis Method.

The paper presents preliminary research focused on the determination of the influence of surface preparation on the quality of the paint coating obtained by the cataphoresis method (KTL). The tests were carried out on steel parts used in the construction of trailers and truck bodies. The first research group consisted of cold-rolled and chemically cleaned parts, the second group were mechanically cleaned with abrasive blasting.

Comparison of the Tribological Properties of the Thermal Diffusion Zinc Coating to the Classic and Heat Treated Hot-Dip Zinc Coatings.

The presented studies are focused on the wear resistance and friction coefficient changes of the thermal diffusion (TD) zinc coating deposited on steel. The aim of research was to evaluate the variation in coating properties during dry friction as a result of the method of preparation of the basis metal. The measured properties were compared to those obtained after classic hot-dip (HD) zinc galvanizing-heat treated and untreated.

The Impact of Heat Treatment on the Behavior of a Hot-Dip Zinc Coating Applied to Steel During Dry Friction.

The analyzed topic refers to the wear resistance and friction coefficient changes resulting from heat treatment (HT) of a hot-dip zinc coating deposited on steel. The aim of research was to evaluate the coating behavior during dry friction after HT as a result of microstructure changes and increase the coating hardness. The HT parameters should be determined by taking into consideration, on the one hand, coating wear resistance and, on the other hand, its anticorrosion properties.
