Objective The aim of this project is to investigate the behaviour and to establish quantitative mechanical and corrosion performance data for commercial coated steel strip comprising metallic and organic coated steel products exposed to environments with extremes of temperature and humidity in internal and external applications. The work will include investigation of the durability of zinc-coated steel in domestic and over-clad building environments in the UK, Finland and Portugal. It is proposed to generate a new test for organic coatings in which the extremes taken into consideration include UV radiation, humidity, temperature changes and freezing.
