Objetivo
Value can be added to metallic coated steel by applying organic coatings with the aim of making sealing measures obsolete for the automotive producer or by substituting for ED-paint and filler. The main objectives for this project are substituting environmentally hazardous Cr(VI) pre-treatments and optimising formability, weldability and corrosion protection by the introduction of Cr-free permanent lubricant primers. These primers will allow: - lubricants and their vapours to be avoided on the production line; - a decrease in the use of Cr(VI) containing primers which may set free Cr(VI) to the environment; - Cr-acid treatment during the production of coated steel products to be avoided. An evaluation of alternative joining concepts for non-weldable systems, factors governing corrosion resistance on cut edges and adhesion of subsequent layers will be carried out.
