Abstract

GI coatings are covered by a very thin aluminum layerthat precipitates after wiping. Anisotropic growing of zinccrystals during solidification induces a strong basal texturein GI coatings. Skin-pass induced changes in GI coatingsurface chemistry, crystallography and reactivity have beenassessed. Local coating analyses have been performed (XPS,TOF-SIMS) in order to describe local effects of roughnessindentation during skin-pass on coating characteristics. A laboratory bi-crushing device supported by XRD and EBSDhas been used to analyze the aluminum oxide behaviourduring deformation and ageing. Reactivity of such surfaceshas been tested using fatty acids.
