Abstract
Two simulative forming tests for assessing the adhesion of metallic coatings on sheet steel, the double reverse Olsen adhesion test and a new test, the stretch-draw adhesion test, are contrasted. The strain states, the nature of the test results, and the responses of various hot dip galvanized and electroplated zinc and zinc alloy coatings are compared. The quantitative mass loss measurements of both tests are shown to have greater relevance than the qualitative visual rating system most commonly used with the double reverse Olsen test. Both tests effectively differentiate good and poor adhesion of alloy coatings. Only small amounts of zinc coatings are lost in both tests. The double reverse Olsen test is easier to perform but represents a sequence of strain states seldom encountered in actual stamping operations.
