Purpose: of this paper is to characterise the corrosion resistance in the steel sheets (Hot dip galvanizing of steel sheets) used in automotive industry. In fact, corrosion of automotive components by road salt is a widely known problem. The different parts under the car body and the interior surface of body panels suffer easily from the corrosive products deposited on roads and used mainly to melt snow. A comparison in a chemical investigation of the corrosion rate for base metals (without welding) and welded steel is required. Therefore, conformity will be accomplished between the corrosion phenomena in simulated corrosion tests and those in actual cars. Design/methodology/approach: Simulated corrosion tests, wet/humidity test and hot dust/dry cycle talk test carried on in laboratory conditions was investigated quantitatively. Dynamic behaviour of the corroded specimens have been tested dynamically to simulate under the crash test conditions. Findings: Studies carried out on the vast corroded samples have shown that the pitting corrosion damage and crack initiation sites have began and propagated generally in the HAZ in the welded steel sheets (Tailored welded blanks - TWB). Research limitations/implications: This paper contains partially results of a common research project. Some limitations exist in application of hot dust/dry cycle talk to the real open air test conditions. All of these results were carried out in the laboratory conditions. Practical implications: The problem is of extreme importance to all academic, scientific, manufacturing, maintenance and industrial societies. The outcome of the proposed study will contribute to the industrial application of ARCELOR-MITTAL. The proposed study will be benefit not only for the car industry and steel makers, but also important for the other industrial applications. The proposed research can be employed in a broad range of applications in oil and natural gas industries. This project will promote multidisciplinary research and cooperation between university and industry. Originality/value: An effective corrosion test proposed by Volvo was applied to the welded sheets (TWB) in an enclosed climatic chamber. This test is a practical and inexpensive test. Impact tensile-crash test makes it possible to analyse the corrosion damage of sheet metals under the dynamic rupture.
