Abstract:Corrosion is a major factor that inhibits the longevity of automotive components especially in countries where significant amount of salt is sprayed on highways during winter. In this paper the effect of cosmetic, perforation and red pitting corrosion on indirect hot-stamped Ultra-High-Strength-Steel UsiborR 1500 were investigated using two different Al-Si coating weights AS80 and AS150. The experiments were conducted in a cyclic corrosion chamber over 12 weeks. The results show that AS150 and AS80 exhibited s… Show more
