ONE-SIDE ZINC COATING INCREASES BODY SHEET CORROSION RESISTANCE

Researchers at United States Steel Corp. have developed a one-side-electrogalvanizing process (known as the CAROSEL process) which applies a zinc coating to one side of steel sheet without affecting the mechanical properties of the steel. This one-side-electrogalvanized steel can be used for automobile panels and has provided good corrosion resistance while maintaining the excellent paintability and appearance of cold-rolled steel.
