Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a coated steel sheet.
  • the invention is particularly well suited for the manufacture of automotive vehicles.
  • Zinc based coatings are generally used because they allows for a protection against corrosion, thanks to barrier protection and cathodic protection.
  • the barrier effect is obtained by the application of a metallic coating on steel surface.
  • the metallic coating prevents the contact between steel and corrosive atmosphere.
  • the barrier effect is independent from the nature of coating and substrate.
  • sacrificial cathodic protection is based on the fact that zinc is a metal less noble that steel. Thus, if corrosion occurs, zinc is consumed preferentially to steel. Cathodic protection is essential in areas where steel is directly exposed to corrosive atmosphere, like cut edges where the surrounding zinc will be consumed before steel.
  • US2012100391 discloses a method for manufacturing a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having good plating qualities, plating adhesion and spot weldability, the method comprising:
