Benefits of technology
The solution effectively reduces blackening and tarnishing on steel sheets during storage, maintaining the visual appearance and corrosion resistance, even in the absence of protective oils, by forming a stable and adherent zinc hydroxysulfate / zinc sulfate layer.
Problems solved by technology
The inventors, however, have found that, in the event of the dewetting of this protective oil, the coatings that contain zinc and magnesium exhibit slight surface oxidation during storage which modifies the interaction of light with the surface and thereby modifies its visual appearance.
In addition, the use of a temporary protection oil is rather constraining because, on the one hand, the oil tends to contaminate the working environment and the tools used to cut and shape the coils of sheet metal, and on the other hand a degreasing process is frequently necessary in a subsequent step of the fabrication of the parts that originate from these coils.

Embodiment Construction
[0038]The sheet metal 1 in FIG. 1 comprises a steel substrate 3, preferably hot-rolled and then cold-rolled, and can be coiled, for example, for later use as a part for an automobile body.
[0039]However, the invention is not limited to this field and can also be used for any steel part, regardless of its intended final use.
[0040]In this example, the sheet metal 1 is then unwound from the coil, then cut and shaped to form a part.
[0041]The substrate 3 is coated on one face 5 with a coating 7. In certain variants, a coating 7 of this type can be present on both faces of the substrate 3.
[0042]The coating 7 comprises at least one zinc-based layer 9. The layer 9 preferably comprises from, for example, 0.1 to 20% by weight magnesium.
[0043]This layer 9 generally has a thickness of less than or equal to 20 μm and is intended for the purpose of protecting the substrate 3 against perforating corrosion, in the conventional manner. It should be noted that the relative thicknesses of the substrate...

Abstract
A sheet includes a steel substrate; a coating covering at least one face of the steel substrate, the coating comprising zinc, magnesium and aluminum; and a zinc hydroxysulfate / zinc sulfate-based temporary protection layer applied over the coating, the temporary protection layer having a sulfur content greater than or equal to 0.5 mg / m2 and less than or equal to 30 mg / m2.
Description
[0001]This is a Divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 371,642, filed Nov. 12, 2014 which is a National Stage Application of International Patent Application PCT / FR2012 / 000013, filed Jan. 10, 2012, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.[0002]The present invention relates to sheet metal comprising a steel substrate that is coated on at least one face with a coating comprising zinc and magnesium.[0003]Sheet metal of this type is intended in particular to be used for the fabrication of parts for automobiles, although it is not limited to those applications.BACKGROUND[0004]Coatings that consist essentially of zinc are conventionally used for the effective protection they provide against corrosion, whether in the automobile sector or in construction, for example. However, these coatings cause weldability problems and are currently in competition with coatings that contain zinc and magnesium.[0005]The addition of magnesium significantly increases the resistan...
