Abstract

A method for manufacturing parts is provided. The method includes cold rolling a substrate with work cylinders whose work surface has a roughness Ra2.5 of less than or equal to 3.6 μm, depositing the metal coating on at least one face of the annealed substrate by electrodeposition to form the metal sheet and deforming the cut metal sheet to form the parts. The outer surface of the metal coating has a waviness Wa0.8 of less than or equal to 0.5 μm after the deformation step. A part and vehicle are also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing parts made from a metal sheet comprising the steps of:
providing a substrate;
cold rolling the substrate, at least a last cold rolling pass being done with work cylinders whose work surface have a roughness Ra 2.5 of less than or equal to 3.6 μm;
recrystallization annealing of the cold rolled substrate;
skin-pass rolling the annealed substrate;
depositing a zinc-based metal coating on at least one face of the substrate by electrodeposition to form a metal sheet;
cutting the metal sheet; and
deforming the cut metal sheet to form parts, an outer surface of the metal coating having a waviness Wa 0.8 of less than or equal to 0.5 μm after the deformation step.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least the last cold rolling pass is carried out with work cylinders whose work surfaces have a roughness Ra 2.5 of less than or equal to 3.3 μm.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein at least the last cold rolling pass is carried out with work cylinders whose work surfaces have a roughness Ra 2.5 of less than or equal to 3.2 μm.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein at least the last cold rolling pass is carried out with straightened and non-etched work cylinders whose work surfaces have a roughness Ra 2.5 of less than or equal to 0.5 μm.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein at least the last cold rolling pass is carried out with straightened and non-etched work cylinders whose work surfaces have a roughness Ra 2.5 of less than or equal to 0.4 μm.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least the last cold rolling pass is carried out with work cylinders whose work surfaces are not etched.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least the last cold rolling pass is carried out with work cylinders whose work surfaces are stochastically etched.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of skin-pass rolling is performed with electro discharge texturing work cylinders whose work surfaces have a roughness Ra 2.5 of from 1.65 to 2.95 μm.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the step of skin-pass rolling is performed with electro discharge texturing work cylinders whose work surfaces have a roughness Ra 2.5 of from 1.65 to 2.30 μm.

10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of:
painting the deformed parts.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the outer surface of the metal coating has a waviness Wa 0.8 of less than or equal to 0.45 μm after the deformation step.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the outer surface of the metal coating has a waviness Wa 0.8 of less than or equal to 0.40 μm after the deformation step.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the outer surface of the metal coating has a waviness Wa 0.8 of less than or equal to 0.35 μm after the deformation step.
