Method for producing a steel strip with improved bonding of metallic hot-dip coatings
11702729 · 2023-07-18 · ·

A method for producing a steel strip containing, in addition to iron as the main component and unavoidable impurities, one or more of the following oxygen-affine elements in wt. %: Al: more than 0.02, Cr: more than 0.1, Mn: more than 1.3 or Si: more than 0.1, where the surface of the steel strip is cleaned, oxidation-treated and annealed. The treated and annealed steel strip is subsequently coated with a hot-dip coat. In order to be less cost-intensive and to achieve uniform, reproducible adhesion conditions for the coat, the steel strip is oxidation-treated prior to the annealing at temperatures below 200° C., where on the surface of the steel strip, with the formation of oxides with iron from the steel strip, an oxide layer is formed, which contains iron oxide and is reduction-treated during the course of the annealing under a reducing atmosphere to achieve a surface consisting substantially of metallic iron.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SURFACE-TREATED AND SURFACE-CONDITIONED STEEL SHEET

The present disclosure relates to a process for producing a surface-treated and surface-finished sheet steel. A sheet steel having a zinc-based coating is provided, wherein zinc grains are distributed within the coating. The surface-treated sheet steel are skin-pass rolled to form embossed regions and unembossed regions on the surface of the sheet steel provided with a zinc-based coating. Skin-pass rolling is performed with a degree of skin-pass greater than 1% in such a way that due to the force exerted by the skin-pass rolling the zinc grains in the embossed region are altered in dimension relative to the zinc grains in the unembossed region.
