There is increasing social and political focus on a global solution to reduce CO2 vehicle emissions and to conserve diminishing raw material resources. This is leading to ever stricter environmental regulations and consequently new challenges for steel users in Europe. These challenges must be supported by the steel producers, who can also look to find new opportunities through innovative solutions to increase the competitiveness of steel against other materials such as aluminum. This paper presents answers for many of the challenges being faced by the steel industry. These are demonstrated with reference to the continual development of the galvanizing process, the coating of ultra high strength steels, new coatings for hot forming products and highly corrosion resistant zinc magnesium based alloy coatings.
