Investigations on the oxidation of Zn-coated steel cables

The automotive component industry has been constantly being studying to improve its performance. Bowden cables are present in opening doors, moving windows and others. In braided cables formed by galvanized wires with Zn steel exposed to the usual environmental conditions, the generation of ZnO appe...

description The automotive component industry has been constantly being studying to improve its performance. Bowden cables are present in opening doors, moving windows and others.

The investigation consisted of mitigating the causes of the ZnO formation.
