The aim of research is to increase coating hardness and wear resistance without decreasing its anticorrosion properties. Hot-dip zinc coating was deposited in industrial conditions (acc. PN-EN ISO 10684) on disc shape samples and bolts M12x60. The achieved results were assessed on the basis of microscopic observation (with the use of an optical and scanning microscope), EDS (point and linear) analysis and micro-hardness measurements. It was discovered that the heat treatment of zinc coating results in an increase in hardness which is caused by the corresponding changes in microstructure.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Changes in properties of hot-dip zinc coating resulting from heat treatment}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110152/PDF/AMM-2019-1-30-Jedrzejczyk.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2019.126239}, keywords={hot-dip zinc galvanizing, heat treatment, coating hardness}, }
