| Synopsis: Intensive research and development were conducted on coating technologies such as hot-dip galvanizing, electrogalvanizing and organic resin coating, for the purpose of extending the duration of corrosion resistance and addition of special functions. The increase of mass production of galvanized steel sheets is attributed to the application of galvannealed steel sheets and organic composite coated steel sheets to automotive panels. An outstanding development has been observed in coated steel sheets having not only corrosion resistance but also special functions such as lubricating property and anti-finger print property for home appliances and office equipment. PET film laminated steel sheet has been developed as the material for beverage cans to make it possible to harmonize the global environment and enhance production efficiency. Heavy duty organic coating has been applied to steel products for construction to assure long duration of resistance to corrosion. |
