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

AB  - 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. Thermal diffusion zinc coatings were 
      deposited in industrial conditions (according to EN ISO 17668:2016-04) on 
      disc-shaped samples. The results obtained during the tribological tests (T11 
      pin-on-disc tester) were analysed on the basis of microscopic observations (with 
      the use of optical and scanning microscopy), EDS (point and linear) analysis and 
      microhardness measurements. The obtained results were similar to effects observed 
      after heat treatment of HD zinc coating. The conducted analysis proved that the 
      method of initial steel surface preparation results in changes in the coating's 
      hardness, friction coefficient and wear resistance.
