Improvements of the corrosion resistance and adhesion of paints on new weldable products to be substituted for tinplate

Objective

This project is aimed at determining and developing surface treatments for steel rolled products coated with thin coatings of tin (0.2-0.8 g/m2), with the twin objectives of inhibiting or slowing down the formation of FeSn2 during the baking of the paint and thence to improve the electrical weldability of the steel for the manufacture of low-cost three-piece tins and guaranteeing a high degree of adhesion for the paint and sufficient corrosion resistance for use in contact with foodstuffs. The steel industry is interested in this research project which could enable steel to win back its competitiveness in certain sectors of the market, which have been eroded recently for economic reasons, where steel has been supplanted by alternative materials such as aluminium, plastics.
