Characterizing the surface waviness of hot dip galvanized steel sheets for optical high-quality paintability

Objective

Wainess in the surface of steel sheets may cause waviness in the topcoat ("orange peel effect") of painted sheets. This is undesirable because it impairs the optical impression and customers interpret this as bad paint quality. Therefore, the production of high quality sheets needs the control of wavines in the sheet surface. At present, this is difficult since the car producers demand different parameters to quantify the waviness with regard to the paintability.

The aim of the project is to characterize and to optimise the paintability of hot dip galvanized sheets on the basis of new developed uniform parameters (new European standard) accepted by both the steel and the automotive industry.
