Steel coating technology has made great progress in recent years to meet the demand for corrosion. Fe-Zn coated steel sheet is one of those which has been developed with increasing response to the brisk demand in the automobile, construction and household electrical appliance industries. The adhesion of coating to substrate is a critical property of any coating system for mechanical integrity and environmental protection of the substrate. The investigation of fracture on the coating layer and/or on any interfaces after deformation, specially the initiation of failure provides fundamental acknowledge to understand major factors contributing to the adhesion of coatings. This paper presents the results of fracture on Fe-Zn alloy coatings on steel sheets after deformation.
