Abstract
In this paper, tannic acid, fluorine titanate and silane coupling agent passivation solution were used to prepare hot dip galvanized steel sheet passivation coating. And then the mechanism of film formation was studied. The microstructure, surface composition, layer by layer element distribution and molecular structure of galvanized steel sheet passivation coating were revealed in scanning electron microscopy, X ray photoelectron spectroscopy, glow discharge atomic emission spectrometry and infrared spectrometry, respectively. The results show that: in one hand, using the silane coupling agent would produce many sol-gel particles in the passivation solution. On the other hand, tannic acid would produce spatial mesh structure. Therefore, passivation solution would generate a smooth, uniform and compact galvanized steel sheet passivation coating or membrane..
