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.
