Environmentally friendly pre-treatment technologies for multi-substrate applications

Objetivo

The aim of this research project is to develop an environmentally friendly pre- treatment system for both coated and uncoated steel substrates. The substrate materials will be cold rolled steel (CRS) and CRS coated with Zn, Zn-Al, Zn-Fe and Al metallic coatings. Current pre-treatment technology based on chromium compounds can represent an environmental hazard. Commensurate with this objective is the aim of developing a fundamental understanding of the chemical processes occurring at the substrate/pre-treatment and the pre-treatment/ organic coating interfaces and how they affect the in-service performance, with particular regard to adhesion and corrosion resistance. The elimination of chromium-based pre-treatments will improve air quality in the workplace and also reduce the hazards during welding operations.
