Application Study of Hot Dip Aluminized Steel in Transformer Substation

Abstract

Based on the experiment method, the mechanical properties, adhesion, corrosion performance, appearance of the hot dip aluminized steel, and the thickness of aluminized layer were analyzed. The study showed that, after the hot dip aluminized process, the corrosion performance was improved, adhesion and appearance can meet the requirements of application in transformer substation. But the mechanical properties of materials was reduced, the problems of bolt plating leakage may be occurred. This paper provides a reference for the application of aluminized steel in transformer substation.
