| When you are choosing the type of alloy that you | | | | exhaust manifold. In the past few years the use of |
| are going to choose to use it is important to choose | | | | stainless steel for automobiles has increased. The |
| the right one. If you do not choose the right alloy | | | | reason that it has increased is because for one it |
| especially when you are talking about automobiles it | | | | works great for corrosion resistance. Also it has |
| can cause some serious problems. For instance it can | | | | great performances for example it has great |
| cause puncture in the tanks and pipes, which will allow | | | | drawability, the coating adhesiveness also the fact |
| the fluid or the gas to leak. It can also cause the loss | | | | that it can be welded very easily. |
| of strength where the cross section of structural | | | | When the coated steel sheets are used for |
| members is reduced by corrosion. And this then leads | | | | automobiles, or lead or tin-coated steel sheets they |
| to a loss of strength to the structure and then it will | | | | have been so far been used for fuel tanks, and for |
| lead to failure. | | | | zinc-coated steel sheets used in automobile parts and |
| One of the more common types of alloy that is used | | | | other car goods, chromate coated ones have been |
| for corrosion resistance is stain less steel. The reason | | | | used. Because of new regulations, the use of |
| that this kind is the more commonly used is because | | | | environmental load materials containing either lead or |
| it works well when you really need resistance to | | | | hexavalent chromium, has been limited. As an |
| heat. Another reason that stainless steel is commonly | | | | alternative coated steel sheets, Al coated steel sheet |
| used is because it has low maintenance and it is | | | | for fuel tanks, Sn-Zn coated steel sheets have been |
| affordable. | | | | developed and already supplied for many customers. |
| This type of alloy works very well for automobiles | | | | In the field of social and industrial infrastructures, |
| because it is very resistant to atmospheric corrosion. | | | | corrosion protection technology, including its |
| Atmospheric corrosion is when it begins to | | | | evaluation methods, should be developed together |
