Recent Advances in Coated Steels Used for Automobile (Current Japanese Materials Research)

Reports on steel sheets with higher corrosion resistance that have developed recently by cooperation between the Japanese steel and car industries. Contributors from those industries describe not only the heightened resistance to corrosion of the new steels, but also their ability to be press-formed and spot- welded, new corrosion tests containing wet and dry processes that may also be applicable to other materials, sheet steel coated with aluminum and manganese that resists corrosion as well as stainless steel, and other innovations.
