Present trends and likely future developments in coated steel

Abstract

Background In the language of the steel industry, the term coated steel means, for all practical purposes, mild steel sheet or strip which is coated before it leaves the steel mill. Various coatings are employed depending upon product end use but basically they divide up into metallic coatings such as tin, zinc or aluminium; and organic coatings which are essentially paints or plastic films. Organic coatings are very often applied on top of metallic coatings, so that in the most advanced coated products there may be as many as five separate layers of material between the underlying steel and the exposed outer surface.
