In this paper, a friction coating aluminizing process is used to create an aluminum coating layer on the surface of the steel, and a low-temperature diffusion treatment forms a Fe-Al infiltration layer to improve the corrosion resistance of carbon steel. This paper introduces the basic concepts, classifications, and application areas of aluminized steel, analyzes the corrosion mechanisms of aluminized steel in different environments and summarizes the commonly used evaluation methods. This paper also determined the appropriate range of parameters for the friction coating aluminizing process and investigated the effects of various process parameters on the surface structure and properties of the steel. Finally, this paper evaluates the corrosion resistance of friction-coating aluminized steel in typical environments. The results show that friction-coating aluminized steel has better corrosion resistance and can effectively prolong the service life of carbon steel.
