Novel Coating Systems and Surface Technologies for Continuous Processing of Steel Sheet

Abstract

In this article, approaches are described to create the technological basics for a new generation of surface coated steel strip products. Important means to reach this aim are the use of new results from basic research (e.g., interfacial and surface chemistry/physics) and the transfer of innovative and non‐polluting deposition technologies (e.g., vapor deposition processes such as physical vapor deposition, PVD, and chemical vapor deposition, CVD) to continuous processing of steel strip.

Photoacid catalyzed organic–inorganic hybrid inks for the manufacturing of inkjet-printed photonic devices

“…Briefly, an organosilicon precursor is injected into a gas flame that is put in short contact with the substrate leading to a SiO 2 -like coating with thickness typically below 50-100 nm. As a result, important changes in the wettability and in the adhesion are obtained 49 . has been employed with a UV bandpass filter (wavelength range of 320 -390 nm) A power of 10 mW/cm 2 was applied for curing during 5 min.…”

“…Alternately CCVD using Pyrosil ® was used to generate a nanoporous silanol rich surface that, as in the case of ozone treated glass, promotes adhesion to the glass through covalent bonding. The roughness added by the CCVD treatment additionally generates extra bonding surface that could further promote adhesion 49 .…”

Polymer Films with Embedded Metal Nanoparticles

“…To begin with, there are a large number of proposed and realised applications using the corrosion protection or moisture protection properties of plasma polymer films as a barrier or passivation layer [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. Due to their large variety of chemical and physical properties, these films have been proposed for very different applications.…”

Combination of FTIR Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy and Work Function Measurements for In Situ Studies of Plasma Modified Passive Films on MgZn2

“…New Zn‐alloys with improved corrosion resistance are of increasing importance for the protection of steel sheets 1, 2. Moreover, for organically coated or adhesively bonded zinc alloy substrates one would like to avoid the need to perform a wet chemical conversion process as pre‐treatment as they lead to the etching of the alloy surface and thereby to the formation of waste 3, 4.…”
