Several investigations and developments have been made for automotive fuel tanks considering the demanding environmental situation. At Nippon Steel, hot dip tin-zinc coated steel sheet has been developed as alternative material for terne sheet for automotive fuel tanks. Tin-8wt%zinc was selected in view of its corrosion resistance, which is strongly influenced by the morphology of the zinc phase. Tin-zinc coated steel sheet has been widely used by Japanese automotive manufacturers because of its well-balanced characteristics.
