Objective
Steel surface condition is of prime importance to the autobody industry and batch annealing is increasingly specified to clean steel. This research work will examine, in particular, aspects of contamination and its evolution including the transformation of amorphous surface carbon into methane during hydrogen annealing; the degradation paths of rolling oil emulsions and the possibility of developing non-extractive contaminant analysis techniques such as SIMS and XPS. Special attention will be paid to correlation between laboratory and plant performance and the inter-plant validity of results.
