Role of physical and chemical characteristics of steel substrate and metallic coating on adhesion and appearance of painted hot dip galvanized and galvannealed products

Objective

The primary objectives of the proposed research are to gain an improved understanding and practical control of steel and strip processing factors in the manufacture of full-finish galvanised and galvannealed products that critically and adversely affect the performance (powdering and flaking), surface quality (aesthetic appearance), and integrity (adhesion) of the zinc or iron/zinc alloy coatings, as produced and in their final painted form. These aspects are currently of major concern in manufacturing galvanneal products to the full-finish surface quality standards required for visible car-body panels.
