In recent years, Zn-Al-Mg alloy galvanized steel sheets have been widely used as coated steel sheets to support social capital in the infrastructure field. A feature of Zn-Al-Mg alloy-coated steel sheets is that they provide a better corrosion protection period than Zn-coated steel sheets. In this study, the corrosion resistance of a new Zn-Al-Mg alloy-coated steel sheet was investigated and compared to that of conventional commercially available coated steel sheets. The investigation confirmed that increasing the Mg concentration in the Zn-Al-Mg-coated steel sheet improved corrosion resistance, which was more than 10 times that of the galvanized steel sheet specified in JIS G 3302. The study findings also confirmed that the corrosion resistance reached more than twice that of the coated steel sheet specified in JIS G 3323. If such galvanized steel sheets are applied to social infrastructures that are exposed to severely corrosive environments, the service life of the infrastructure might be extended.

The skinpassing conditions such as roll type, roll force and roll roughness of the work roll were evaluated to give the surface properties of the galvanized steel sheets that were required for automotive and to get rid of the surface defects that caused with the bad control of galvanized coating process parameters. The surface defects of the galvanized steel sheets such as the ripple mark and the scratch were completely removed as the roll force of SPM work roll was increased and the amount of the transfer of roll surface texture to the strip was also gained a lot. The image clarity of electro discharge textured (EDT) coated steel sheets before and after painting was higher than that of the bright (BRT) and shot blasted (SBT) coated steel sheets because of higher PPI value, lower waviness and uniform surface pattern. Since micro-craters transferred on the surface of the galvanized steel sheets played a role of nucleation sites of chromate reaction, Increase of micro-craters was bring to better corrosion resistance with the increase of the roll force and the use of EDT roll at the skin pass mill.

Effects of spangle size and crystallographic characteristics on the surface appearance, galling properties, and adhesive strength of hot-dip galvanized steel sheets have been investigated. Both spangle size and crystallographic orientation measured by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction were identified as critical factors influencing the galvanized coating performance. By decreasing the spangle size, surface appearance and galling properties related to the friction coefficient were significantly improved. However, low temperature adhesive-strength with small spangle galvanized steel sheets showed lower values compared to commercially used galvanized coating. The variation of adhesive strength in terms of spangle size has been clarified.

Regular spangle hot dip galvanized steel sheets were made in the zinc bath containing a small amount of Al and with the addition of Pb, Sb, Sb-Mg, Sb-Cu and Bi respectively whose average glosses were measured. Zero-spangle hot dip galvanized steel sheets were also made by spraying a 2% $NH_4H_2PO_4$ solution on molten coating surfaces with exactly the same chemical compositions as above used for regular spangle and whose glosses and corrosion losses were also evaluated. For manufacturing zero- spangle hot dip galvanized steel sheets with high brightness, the zinc bath with 0.02%Sb and the spraying of a 2% $NH_4H_2PO_4$ solution were proposed and for better brightness and corrosion resistance, the zinc bath with 0.02% Sb-0.50%Mg and the spraying of a 2% $NH_4H_2PO_4$ solution were also proposed.

The effects of surface roughness on chromate conversion coating and the corrosion behavior of galvanized steel sheets were investigated. Surface roughness was differently given to the galvanized steel sheets tested and these were then chromated. Accelerated corrosion test was conducted under the condition of $30^{\circ}C$, 90%RH with flowing 200ppm $SO_2$ gas. The galvanized steels were also exposed to urban environment for 5 weeks. The corrosion rates were measured by weight gain method. The distribution of chromate film and corrosion product on the coating were examined which SEM/EDS. The chromate film formed preferentially at the convex sites rather than at the concave sites on the surface. The corrosion products were found at the concave sites where the chromate film formed rarely. The corrosion product on the coating were found at the concave sites where the chromate film formed rarely. The corrosion rates increased slightly with the surface roughness in accelerated corrosion test but significantly in field test.

The drawbead is one of the most important factors in sheet metal forming for automotive parts. So clarifying the friction characteristics between sheets and drawbead is essential to improve the formability of sheet metal. Therefore in this study, drawbead friction test was performed at various panels(cold rolled steel sheets, galvanized steel sheets, electrogalvanized coating steel sheets, electrogalvanized Zn-Fe alloy steel sheets and aluminum alloy steel sheets). Circular shape bead has been used for the test. The results show that friction and drawing characteristics were mainly influenced by the nature of zinc coating.

Coated sheet steels have been increasingly used in automotive industry for improving corrosion resistance. One of the arised concerns is frictional behavior of coated sheet steel in stamping process. But analyses of the frictional behavior are complex and difficult. A tensile strip test has been developed for evaluating friction under the condition which simulate the stretching of sheet. Tests are conducted under different die radius and lubrication conditions. Electro-galvanized steel sheets show a lower coefficient of friction than bare steel sheets whose coated layers have been chemically removed. The coefficients of friction are independent of die radius.

This paper is studied about welding conditions and weldability of seam welding for galvanized steel sheet of automotive. The fuel tank of automobile is made by seam welding to be required of airtight or oiltight. This method have required a short time for welding, simplicity operation progress and little HAZ. Especially, it has more less residual stress and transformation than different welding progress. So, this study is for decreasing the leakage occurrence rate and to make standard operating condition table anyone can operate easily. Therefore, this study is analyzed the optimum conditions of seam welding for making the automobile with galvanized steel sheets by means of observing the microstructure and configuration back projection, RT, tensile-shear strengths test and SEM. Optimum conditions of seam welding obtained as follows, current 17.2-17.6kA speed 1.0m/min weld time 4:10:6 and current 16.5-17.4kA, speed 0.83m/min, weld time 4:10:4 at t1.0, and current, 18.5-18.9kA, speed 0.8m/min, weld time 4:10:4 and current 16.5-17.4kA, speed 0.68m/mi, weld time 4:10:2 at t1.6.

Shinning spot defects on galvanized steel sheets were studied by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope(SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) and Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Original Position Statistic Distribution Analysis (LIBSOPA) in this study. The research shows that the coating thickness of shinning spot defects which caused by the substrate defect is much lower than normal area, and when skin passed, the shinning spot defect area can not touch with skin pass roll which result in the surface of shinning spot is flat while normal area is rough. The different coating morphologies have different effects on the reflection of light, which cause the shinning spot defects more brighter than normal area.
