Abstract
A steel part includes a steel sheet substrate and a coating on at least one surface of the steel sheet substrate. The coating includes between 0.2 and 0.7% by weight of Al, with a remainder of the metal coating being Zn and inevitable impurities. The steel sheet substrate and the coating have at least one deformation. An outer surface of the coating has a waviness Wa0.8 of less than or equal to 0.43 μm.
Claims12
A method for manufacturing a coated metal sheet comprising a steel substrate, at least one face of which is coated, the method comprising the steps of:
- cold rolling the steel substrate with rolls for at the least a last pass of the cold rolling that are rectified and non-etched work rolls for which work surfaces have a roughness Ra2.5 of less than or equal to 0.5 μm;
- depositing a metal coating on the at least one face of the steel substrate by dipping the steel substrate in a bath to obtain the coated metal sheet;
- wiping the metal coating with a wiping gas;
- and
- solidifying the metal coating, an outer surface of the metal coating having, after solidification and before any skin-pass operation, a waviness Wa0.8 of less than or equal to 0.55 μm, the metal coating comprising Al, a remainder of the metal coating being Zn and inevitable impurities, the metal coating having a weight content of aluminum from 0.2 to 0.7%.
