Abstract

The surface structures of as-received, pretreated and painted hot-dip galvanized steel are studied. The hardness of six different paint systems and their adhesion to selected types of zinc coating are investigated before and after accelerated ageing. Both hardness and adhesion depend on the pretreatment and the chosen combination of zinc coating and paint system.
