The surface topography of sheet, in addition to the paint system and paint application technique, has an influence on the longer-wave components (orange peel) in respect of top coat levelling behaviour. The Institute, commissioned by Studiengesellschaft Stahlanwendung e.V. (see Report P 247), has analysed and formulated these influences for stochastic sheet surfaces. The visualisation of these influences is possible by scanning the topography over larger areas, in combination with suitable low-pass filtering.
