Regarding the zinc phosphating property on steel surface side of One-side Electrolytic Galvanized Steel (EG) and One-side Pre-Coated Steel (PC) for Automobile, surface characterization effect was studied.
In case of EG, though the zinc concentration on steel surface influences the zinc phosphatability, the electrochemical treatment of zinc removal is valid for good phosphating.
In case of PC, steel surface receives the hysteresis in the zinc-rich primer baking process, so that it influences the zinc phosphatability. However, the certain surface preparation will improve the phosphatability of the surface as the same level as cold rolled steel. There is an exceptional PC which shows the good phosphatability without surface preparation. This phenomenon will be owing to the Ni component as surface characterization.
