Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sheet comprising a substrate of which at least one face is coated with a metal coating comprising Al and Mg, the remainder of the metal coating being Zn, unavoidable impurities and optionally one or more additional elements. selected from Si, Ti, Ca, Mn, La, Ce and Bi, the weight content of each additional element in the metal coating being less than 0.3%.
- Galvanized metal coatings consisting essentially of zinc and 0.1 to 0.4% by weight of aluminum are traditionally used for their good protection against corrosion.
- Such metal coatings will generally be referred to herein as zinc-aluminum-magnesium or ZnAIMg coatings.
- magnesium significantly increases the corrosion resistance of steels coated with a metal coating, which can reduce the thickness of the metal coating or increase the guarantee of protection against corrosion over time at constant thickness .
- These sheets coated with a ZnAIMg coating are for example intended for the automotive field, household electrical appliance or construction.
- JP2010255084 it is known from JP2010255084 to improve the resistance to cracking by adding from 0.005 to 0.2% by weight of nickel to a metal coating comprising moreover 1 to 10% by weight of aluminum and 0.2 to 1% by weight. magnesium weight.

Les revêtements métalliques galvanisés comprenant essentiellement du zinc et de 0,1 à 0,4% en poids d'aluminium sont traditionnellement utilisés pour leur bonne protection contre la corrosion. Galvanized metal coatings consisting essentially of zinc and 0.1 to 0.4% by weight of aluminum are traditionally used for their good protection against corrosion.
Ces revêtements métalliques sont à présent concurrencés notamment par les revêtements comprenant du zinc et des ajouts de magnésium et d'aluminium, pouvant aller respectivement jusqu'à 10% et jusqu'à 20% en poids. These metal coatings are now in competition with, in particular, coatings comprising zinc and additions of magnesium and aluminum, which may be up to 10% and up to 20% by weight, respectively.
De tels revêtements métalliques seront globalement désignés ici sous le terme de revêtements zinc-aluminium-magnésium ou ZnAIMg. Such metal coatings will generally be referred to herein as zinc-aluminum-magnesium or ZnAIMg coatings.
L'ajout de magnésium augmente nettement la résistance à la corrosion des aciers revêtus d'un revêtement métallique, ce qui peut permettre de réduire l'épaisseur du revêtement métallique ou d'augmenter la garantie de protection contre la corrosion dans le temps à épaisseur constante. The addition of magnesium significantly increases the corrosion resistance of steels coated with a metal coating, which can reduce the thickness of the metal coating or increase the guarantee of protection against corrosion over time at constant thickness .
Ces tôles revêtues d'un revêtement ZnAIMg sont par exemple destinées au domaine de l'automobile, au domaine électroménager ou à la construction. These sheets coated with a ZnAIMg coating are for example intended for the automotive field, household electrical appliance or construction.
Il est connu que l'ajout de Magnésium dans les revêtements métalliques provoque un durcissement du revêtement et que cela conduit à l'apparition de fissures dans l'épaisseur du revêtement lorsque la tôle revêtue est sévèrement pliée. It is known that the addition of magnesium in metal coatings causes a hardening of the coating and that this leads to the appearance of cracks in the thickness of the coating when the coated sheet is severely folded.
Il est connu de JP2010255084 d'améliorer la résistance à la fissuration en ajoutant de 0,005 à 0,2% en poids de Nickel à un revêtement métallique comprenant par ailleurs 1 à 10% en poids d'Aluminium et 0,2 à 1% en poids de Magnésium. Le Nickel ainsi ajouté présente la caractéristique de se situer It is known from JP2010255084 to improve the resistance to cracking by adding from 0.005 to 0.2% by weight of nickel to a metal coating comprising moreover 1 to 10% by weight of aluminum and 0.2 to 1% by weight. magnesium weight. The Nickel thus added has the characteristic of being

majoritairement à l'interface acier-revêtement métallique, ce qui contribue à inhiber la formation de fissures dans les zones déformées. Cependant l'ajout de Nickel présente plusieurs inconvénients : CONFIRMATION C0PY mainly at the steel-metal interface, which helps to inhibit the formation of cracks in deformed areas. However, adding Nickel has several disadvantages:
la présence de Nickel à la surface du revêtement métallique accélère la corrosion par couplage, the presence of nickel on the surface of the metal coating accelerates coupling corrosion,
L'accroissement du nombre d'éléments dans le bain rend la gestion du bain d'autant plus délicate, The increase in the number of elements in the bath makes the management of the bath all the more delicate,
La migration du Nickel à l'interface acier-revêtement métallique est délicate à réaliser et introduit des contraintes supplémentaires de fabrication. Nickel migration at the steel-metal interface is difficult to perform and introduces additional manufacturing constraints.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit, donnée à titre explicatif mais non limitatif. The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given for explanatory but not limiting.
La tôle comprend un substrat en acier recouvert sur au moins une de ses faces d'un revêtement métallique, lui-même recouvert d'au moins un film de peinture. The sheet comprises a steel substrate coated on at least one of its faces with a metal coating, itself covered with at least one paint film.
Le revêtement métallique a généralement une épaisseur inférieure ou égale à 25 pm et vise à protéger le substrat contre la corrosion. The metal coating generally has a thickness of less than or equal to 25 μm and is intended to protect the substrate against corrosion.
Le revêtement métallique est constitué d'aluminium et de magnésium, le reste du revêtement métallique étant exclusivement du zinc, des impuretés inévitables liées au procédé de dépôt du revêtement métallique et éventuellement un ou plusieurs éléments additionnels choisis parmi Si, Ti, Ca, Mn, La, Ce et Bi, la teneur en poids de chaque élément additionnel dans le revêtement métallique étant inférieure à 0,3%, la présence de nickel étant exclue.
La teneur en poids d'aluminium du revêtement métallique est comprise entre 4,4 et 5,6%. Cette gamme de teneur en poids d'aluminium favorise la formation d'eutectique binaire Zn/AI dans la microstructure du revêtement métallique. Cet eutectique est particulièrement ductile et favorise l'obtention d'un revêtement métallique flexible. The metal coating consists of aluminum and magnesium, the remainder of the metal coating being exclusively zinc, unavoidable impurities related to the deposition process of the metal coating and optionally one or more additional elements selected from Si, Ti, Ca, Mn, La, Ce and Bi, the weight content of each additional element in the metal coating being less than 0.3%, the presence of nickel being excluded. The weight content of aluminum of the metal coating is between 4.4 and 5.6%. This range of aluminum weight content promotes the formation of Zn / Al binary eutectic in the microstructure of the metal coating. This eutectic is particularly ductile and promotes the obtaining of a flexible metal coating.
De préférence, la teneur en poids d'aluminium est comprise entre 4,75 et Preferably, the content by weight of aluminum is between 4.75 and
5,25%. 5.25%.
On notera ici que la teneur en poids d'aluminium est mesurée sans prendre en compte l'intermétallique riche en Aluminium situé à l'interface substrat- revêtement métallique. Une telle mesure peut par exemple être réalisée par spectrométrie à décharge luminescente. Une mesure par dissolution chimique conduirait quant à elle à la dissolution simultanée du revêtement métallique et de l'intermétallique et donnerait une teneur en poids d'aluminium sur-estimée de l'ordre de 0,05 à 0,5% en fonction de l'épaisseur du revêtement métallique. It should be noted here that the content by weight of aluminum is measured without taking into account the aluminum-rich intermetallic located at the interface substrate-metal coating. Such a measurement can for example be carried out by glow discharge spectrometry. A measurement by chemical dissolution would lead to the simultaneous dissolution of the metal coating and intermetallic and give an over-estimated aluminum content by weight of the order of 0.05 to 0.5% depending on the thickness of the metal coating.
La teneur en poids de magnésium du revêtement métallique est comprise entre 0,3 et 0,56%. En dessous de 0,3%, l'amélioration de la résistance à la corrosion apportée par le magnésium n'est plus suffisante. Au-dessus de 0,56%, la synergie d'action du film de peinture et du revêtement métallique selon l'invention n'est plus observée. The weight content of magnesium metal coating is between 0.3 and 0.56%. Below 0.3%, the improvement in the resistance to corrosion provided by magnesium is no longer sufficient. Above 0.56%, the synergistic action of the paint film and the metal coating according to the invention is no longer observed.
De préférence, la teneur en poids de magnésium est comprise entre 0,44 et 0,56%, ce qui constitue le meilleur compromis en termes de résistance à la corrosion et de flexibilité. Preferably, the weight content of magnesium is between 0.44 and 0.56%, which constitutes the best compromise in terms of corrosion resistance and flexibility.

L'impureté inévitable la plus courante et résultant du passage du substrat dans le bain est le fer qui peut être présent à une teneur allant jusqu'à 0,8% en poids du revêtement métallique, généralement inférieure ou égale à 0,4% et généralement comprise entre 0,1 et 0,4% en poids. Les impuretés inévitables provenant des lingots d'alimentation sont généralement le plomb (Pb), présent à une teneur inférieure à 0,01 % en poids, le Cadmium (Cd), présent à une teneur inférieure à 0,005% en poids et l'étain (Sn),
présent à une teneur inférieure à 0,001% en poids. Il est à noter ici que le nickel n'est pas une impureté inévitable liée au procédé de galvanisation. The unavoidable impurities come from the feed ingots of the molten zinc bath or result from the passage of the substrate in the bath. The most common unavoidable impurity resulting from the passage of the substrate in the bath is iron which may be present at a content of up to 0.8% by weight of the metal coating, generally less than or equal to 0.4% and generally between 0.1 and 0.4% by weight. The unavoidable impurities from the ingots are generally lead (Pb), present at a content of less than 0.01% by weight, Cadmium (Cd), present at a content of less than 0.005% by weight and tin (Sn), present at a content of less than 0.001% by weight. It should be noted here that nickel is not an unavoidable impurity related to the galvanizing process.
Les différents éléments additionnels peuvent permettre, entre autres, d'améliorer la ductilité ou l'adhésion du revêtement métallique sur le substrat. L'homme du métier qui connaît leurs effets sur les caractéristiques des revêtements métalliques saura les employer en fonction du but complémentaire recherché. Dans le cadre de l'invention, le revêtement métallique ne comprend pas de nickel en tant qu'élément additionnel, le nickel présentant les inconvénients cités précédemment. De préférence, le revêtement métallique ne comprend aucun élément additionnel. Ceci permet de simplifier la gestion du bain de galvanisation et de minimiser le nombre de phases formées dans le revêtement métallique. The various additional elements may make it possible, inter alia, to improve the ductility or adhesion of the metal coating to the substrate. Those skilled in the art who know their effects on the characteristics of metal coatings will be able to use them according to the complementary aim sought. In the context of the invention, the metal coating does not include nickel as an additional element, nickel having the drawbacks mentioned above. Preferably, the metal coating does not include any additional elements. This simplifies the management of the galvanizing bath and minimizes the number of phases formed in the metal coating.
La tôle comprend enfin un film de peinture. The sheet finally includes a paint film.
Les films de peinture sont généralement à base de polymères et comprennent au moins une couche de peinture. De préférence, ils comprennent au moins un polymère choisi dans le groupe constitué des polyesters à réticulation mélamine, des polyesters à réticulation isocyanate, des polyuréthanes et des dérivés halogénés de polymères vinyliques, à l'exclusion des peintures cataphorétiques. Ces polymères présentent la caractéristique d'être particulièrement flexibles, ce qui favorise la synergie d'action du film de peinture et du revêtement métallique. The paint films are generally based on polymers and comprise at least one layer of paint. Preferably, they comprise at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of melamine-crosslinked polyesters, isocyanate-crosslinked polyesters, polyurethanes and halogenated derivatives of vinyl polymers, with the exception of cataphoretic paints. These polymers have the characteristic of being particularly flexible, which promotes the synergistic action of the paint film and the metal coating.
Le film de peinture peut être formé par exemple de deux couches de peintures successives, à savoir une couche de primaire et une couche de finition ce qui est généralement le cas pour réaliser le film appliqué en face supérieure de la tôle, ou d'une couche de peinture unique, ce qui est généralement le cas pour réaliser le film appliqué en face inférieure de la tôle, D'autres nombres de couches peuvent être utilisés dans certaines variantes. The paint film may be formed for example of two layers of successive paints, namely a primer layer and a topcoat which is generally the case for producing the film applied to the upper face of the sheet, or a layer of single paint, which is generally the case for making the film applied to the lower face of the sheet. Other numbers of layers may be used in certain variants.
Les films de peinture ont typiquement des épaisseurs comprises entre 1 et 200 pm. The paint films typically have thicknesses of between 1 and 200 μm.
Optionnellement, l'interface entre le revêtement métallique et le film de peinture comprend une ou plusieurs caractéristiques à choisir parmi une altération de la couche d'oxyde/hydroxyde d'aluminium présente naturellement à la surface
du revêtement métallique, une altération de la couche d'oxyde/hydroxyde de magnésium présente naturellement à la surface du revêtement métallique et une couche de conversion caractérisée par son poids de couche en chrome (en cas de traitement de conversion chromaté) ou par son poids de couche en titane (en cas de traitement de conversion sans chrome). Optionally, the interface between the metal coating and the paint film includes one or more characteristics to be selected from an alteration of the naturally occurring aluminum oxide / hydroxide layer on the surface metal coating, an alteration of the magnesium oxide / hydroxide layer naturally occurring on the surface of the metal coating and a conversion layer characterized by its chromium layer weight (in case of chromate conversion treatment) or by its weight of titanium layer (in case of conversion treatment without chromium).
Pour réaliser la tôle selon l'invention, on peut par exemple procéder comme suit. To achieve the sheet according to the invention, one can for example proceed as follows.
L'installation utilisée peut comprendre une seule et même ligne ou par exemple deux lignes différentes pour réaliser respectivement les revêtements métalliques et la mise en peinture. Dans le cas où deux lignes différentes sont utilisées, elles peuvent être situées sur le même site ou sur des sites distincts. Dans la suite de la description, on considéra à titre d'exemple une variante où deux lignes distinctes sont utilisées. The installation used may comprise a single line or, for example, two different lines for producing respectively the metal coatings and the painting. In the case where two different lines are used, they may be located on the same site or on separate sites. In the remainder of the description, for example, a variant in which two distinct lines are used is considered.
Dans une première ligne de réalisation des revêtements métalliques, on utilise un substrat en acier obtenu par exemple par laminage à chaud puis à froid. Le substrat est sous forme d'une bande que l'on fait défiler dans un bain pour déposer le revêtement métallique par trempe à chaud. In a first embodiment of metal coatings, use is made of a steel substrate obtained for example by hot rolling then cold. The substrate is in the form of a strip which is passed through a bath to deposit the metal coating by hot quenching.
Le bain est un bain de zinc fondu contenant de 4,4 à 5,6% en poids d'aluminium et de 0,3 à 0,56% en poids de magnésium. Le bain peut également contenir des impuretés inévitables liées au procédé, telles que des impuretés provenant des lingots d'alimentation du bain, et/ou un ou plusieurs éléments additionnels choisis dans le groupe constitué de Si, Ti, Ca, Mn, La, Ce et Bi, la teneur en poids de chaque élément additionnel dans le revêtement métallique étant inférieure à 0,3%, la présence de nickel étant exclue. The bath is a molten zinc bath containing 4.4 to 5.6% by weight of aluminum and 0.3 to 0.56% by weight of magnesium. The bath may also contain unavoidable process-related impurities, such as impurities from the bath feed ingots, and / or one or more additional members selected from the group consisting of Si, Ti, Ca, Mn, La, Ce and Bi, the weight content of each additional element in the metal coating being less than 0.3%, the presence of nickel being excluded.
L'impureté inévitable la plus courante et résultant du passage du substrat dans le bain est le fer qui peut être présent à une teneur allant jusqu'à 0,8% en poids, généralement inférieure ou égale à 0,4% et généralement comprise entre 0,1 et 0,4% en poids. Les impuretés inévitables provenant des lingots d'alimentation sont généralement le plomb (Pb), présent à une teneur inférieure à 0,01% en poids, le Cadmium (Cd), présent à une teneur inférieure à 0,005% en poids et l'étain (Sn), présent à une teneur inférieure à 0,001 % en poids. Il est à
noter ici que le nickel n'est pas une impureté inévitable liée au procédé de galvanisation. The most common unavoidable impurity resulting from the passage of the substrate in the bath is iron which may be present at a content of up to 0.8% by weight, generally less than or equal to 0.4% and generally between 0.1 and 0.4% by weight. The unavoidable impurities from the ingots are generally lead (Pb), present at a content of less than 0.01% by weight, Cadmium (Cd), present at a content of less than 0.005% by weight and tin (Sn), present at a content of less than 0.001% by weight. He is at note here that nickel is not an unavoidable impurity related to the galvanizing process.
Le bain a une température comprise entre 350°C et 510°C, de préférence entre 370°C et 470°C. The bath has a temperature between 350 ° C and 510 ° C, preferably between 370 ° C and 470 ° C.
Après dépôt du revêtement métallique, le substrat est par exemple essoré au moyen de buses projetant un gaz de part et d'autre du substrat, de sorte à ajuster l'épaisseur des revêtements. De préférence, le gaz d'essorage ne comprend ni particules, ni solutions telles que, par exemple, celles comprenant un phosphate de magnésium et/ou un silicate de magnésium. Ces ajouts au gaz d'essorage modifient la solidification du revêtement métallique et donc sa microstructure, ce qui contribuerait à dégrader le bon comportement en flexibilité de la tôle prélaquée selon l'invention. En variante, un brossage peut être effectué pour enlever le revêtement déposé sur une face de sorte qu'une seule des faces de la tôle sera en définitive revêtue par un revêtement. After deposition of the metal coating, the substrate is for example spun by means of nozzles throwing a gas on either side of the substrate, so as to adjust the thickness of the coatings. Preferably, the wringing gas does not comprise particles or solutions such as, for example, those comprising a magnesium phosphate and / or a magnesium silicate. These additions to the spin gas modify the solidification of the metal coating and therefore its microstructure, which would contribute to degrade the good flexibility behavior of the prelacked sheet according to the invention. Alternatively, a brushing may be performed to remove the coating deposited on one side so that only one side of the sheet will ultimately be coated.
On laisse ensuite refroidir les revêtements de façon contrôlée pour qu'ils se solidifient. Le refroidissement contrôlé du ou de chaque revêtement est réalisé au moyen d'un caisson de refroidissement ou de tout autre moyen adapté et est assuré à une vitesse de préférence comprise entre 2°C/sec, correspondant approximativement à une convection naturelle, et 35°C/sec entre le début de la solidification (c'est-à-dire lorsque le revêtement atteint une température juste inférieure à celle du liquidus) et la fin de la solidification (c'est-à-dire lorsque le revêtement atteint la température du solidus). Il a été constaté que des vitesses de refroidissement supérieures à 35°C/sec ne permettaient pas d'améliorer davantage les résultats. The coatings are then allowed to cool in a controlled manner to solidify. The controlled cooling of the or each coating is carried out by means of a cooling box or any other suitable means and is provided at a speed preferably between 2 ° C / sec, corresponding approximately to a natural convection, and 35 ° C / sec between the onset of solidification (ie, when the coating reaches a temperature just below that of the liquidus) and the end of solidification (that is, when the coating reaches the temperature solidus). It was found that cooling rates above 35 ° C / sec did not improve the results further.
De préférence, le refroidissement est assuré à une vitesse supérieure ou égale à 15°C/sec ce qui contribue à affiner la microstructure du revêtement métallique et à ainsi éviter la formation sur le revêtement métallique d'un fleurage visible à l' il nu et qui reste apparent après mise en peinture. De façon plus préférentielle, la vitesse de refroidissement est comprise entre 15 et 35°C/sec. Preferably, the cooling is provided at a speed greater than or equal to 15 ° C / sec which contributes to refining the microstructure of the metal coating and thus to avoid the formation on the metal coating of a visible flowering to the naked eye and which remains apparent after painting. More preferably, the cooling rate is between 15 and 35 ° C / sec.
La bande ainsi traitée peut ensuite être soumise à une étape dite de skin- pass qui permet de l'écrouir de sorte à effacer le palier d'élasticité, à fixer les
caractéristiques mécaniques et à lui conférer une rugosité adaptée aux opérations d'emboutissage et à la qualité de surface peinte que l'on souhaite obtenir. The strip thus treated can then be subjected to a so-called skin-pass step which allows it to be hardened so as to erase the level of elasticity, to fix the mechanical characteristics and to give it a roughness adapted to the stamping operations and the quality of the painted surface that one wishes to obtain.
La bande peut éventuellement être bobinée avant d'être envoyée vers une ligne de prélaquage. The band may optionally be wound before being sent to a prelacing line.
Les surfaces extérieures des revêtements y sont soumises à une étape de préparation de surface. Une telle préparation comprend au moins une étape choisie parmi un rinçage, un dégraissage et un traitement de conversion. The outer surfaces of the coatings are subjected to a surface preparation step. Such a preparation comprises at least one step chosen from a rinsing, a degreasing and a conversion treatment.
Le rinçage a pour but d'éliminer les salissures décollées, les éventuels résidus de solutions de conversion, les savons éventuellement formés et de présenter une surface propre et réactive. Rinsing is intended to remove loose dirt, possible residues of conversion solutions, soaps eventually formed and present a clean and reactive surface.
Le dégraissage a pour but de nettoyer la surface en enlevant toute trace de salissure organique, de particules métalliques et de poussière de la surface. Cette étape permet également d'altérer les couches d'oxyde/hydroxyde d'aluminium et d'oxyde/hydroxyde de Magnésium éventuellement présentes à la surface du revêtement métallique, sans toutefois modifier outre mesure la nature chimique de la surface. Une telle altération permet d'améliorer la qualité de l'interface revêtement métallique/film de peinture ce qui améliore la résistance à la corrosion et l'adhérence du film de peinture. De préférence, le dégraissage est réalisé en milieu alcalin. Plus préférentiellement, le pH de la solution de dégraissage est compris entre 12 et 13. The purpose of degreasing is to clean the surface by removing all traces of organic dirt, metal particles and dust from the surface. This step also makes it possible to alter the oxide / aluminum hydroxide and magnesium oxide / hydroxide layers that may be present on the surface of the metal coating, without however unduly modifying the chemical nature of the surface. Such tampering improves the quality of the metal coating / paint film interface which improves the corrosion resistance and adhesion of the paint film. Preferably, the degreasing is carried out in an alkaline medium. More preferably, the pH of the degreasing solution is between 12 and 13.
L'étape de traitement de conversion comprend l'application sur le revêtement métallique d'une solution de conversion qui réagit chimiquement avec la surface et permet ainsi de former sur le revêtement métallique des couches de conversion. Ces couches de conversion augmentent l'adhérence de la peinture et la résistance à la corrosion. De préférence, le traitement de conversion est une solution acide ne contenant pas de chrome. Plus préférentiellement, le traitement de conversion est à base d'acide hexafluorotitanique ou hexafluorozirconique. The conversion treatment step comprises applying to the metal coating a conversion solution that chemically reacts with the surface and thereby forming conversion layers on the metal coating. These conversion coats increase the adhesion of the paint and the corrosion resistance. Preferably, the conversion treatment is an acid solution not containing chromium. More preferably, the conversion treatment is based on hexafluorotitanic acid or hexafluorozirconic acid.
Les éventuelles étapes de dégraissage et de traitement de conversion peuvent comprendre d'autres sous-étapes de rinçage, de séchage.... The possible stages of degreasing and conversion treatment may include other sub-stages of rinsing, drying ....
Optionnellement, la préparation de surface peut également comprendre une étape d'altération des couches d'oxyde de magnésium et d'hydroxyde de magnésium formées à la surface du revêtement métallique. Cette altération peut
notamment consister en l'application d'une solution acide avant application de la solution de conversion, ou en l'application d'une solution de conversion acidifiée à pH compris entre 1 et 5 ou encore en l'application d'efforts mécaniques sur la surface. Optionally, the surface preparation may also include a step of altering the magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide layers formed on the surface of the metal coating. This alteration can in particular, the application of an acidic solution before application of the conversion solution, or the application of an acidified conversion solution at a pH of between 1 and 5 or else the application of mechanical stresses on the area.
La mise en peinture est réalisée par dépôt de couches de peinture au moyen, par exemple, de vernisseuses à rouleaux. The painting is carried out by deposition of paint layers by means of, for example, roller coaters.
Chaque dépôt d'une couche de peinture est généralement suivi d'une cuisson dans un four de sorte à réticuler la peinture et/ou évaporer les éventuels solvants et ainsi obtenir un film sec. Each deposit of a paint layer is generally followed by baking in an oven so as to crosslink the paint and / or evaporate the possible solvents and thus obtain a dry film.
La tôle ainsi obtenue, dite tôle prélaquée, peut à nouveau être bobinée avant d'être découpée, éventuellement mise en forme et assemblée avec d'autres tôles ou d'autres éléments par des utilisateurs. The sheet thus obtained, called prepainted sheet, can be rewound before being cut, possibly shaped and assembled with other sheets or other elements by users.
Afin d'illustrer l'invention, des essais ont été réalisés et vont être décrits à titre d'exemples non limitatifs. In order to illustrate the invention, tests have been carried out and will be described by way of non-limiting examples.

- on réalise dans l'épaisseur du pli une coupe transversale à l'axe de pliage, in the thickness of the fold, a cross section is made at the bending axis,
- la section du pli est observée au microscope optique à fort grossissement et on note : the section of the fold is observed under a high magnification optical microscope and we note:
o le nombre de fissures atteignant l'acier sur l'ensemble de la section du pli, o the number of cracks reaching the steel over the entire crease section,
o la largeur moyenne de ces fissures (en μιη) o the average width of these cracks (in μιη)
o la somme des largeurs de ces fissures (en pm) o the sum of the widths of these cracks (in pm)
Le cas échéant, on distingue les fissures dans l'épaisseur du revêtement métallique ZnAIMg et les fissures dans l'épaisseur du film de peinture.
Plusieurs tôles ZnAIMg présentant des compositions variables obtenues par trempe d'un substrat métallique d'épaisseur variable dans de zinc fondu contenant du magnésium et de l'aluminium si refroidissement alternativement sous convection naturelle ou à une vi refroidissement de 30°C/sec. Les tôles ZnAIMg ont ensuite été prélaqué le protocole suivant : Where appropriate, there are cracks in the thickness of the ZnAIMg metal coating and cracks in the thickness of the paint film. Several ZnAIMg sheets having variable compositions obtained by quenching a metal substrate of variable thickness in molten zinc containing magnesium and aluminum if cooling alternately under natural convection or at a cooling of 30 ° C / sec.
