Producing a cold-formable metal-coated strip having a residual (through thickness distribution) stress of no more than 100 Mpa

摘要

A method of producing a metal coated steel strip comprises: a) forming a metal coating on a steel strip and b) conditioning the surface of the metal coated steel strip by smoothing the surface of the strip; the conditioning step producing residual stress of no more than 100 MPa in the strip.
