The main conclusion of this study is that one of the selected primer/surfacers combined with two of the three nonchrome pretreatments under evaluation provided overall adhesion, corrosion, appearance, and stone chip results equivalent to conventional phosphating and electrocoating; therefore, from a technical viewpoint, there is the potential for eliminating phosphating and electrocoating for aluminium intensive vehicles, hence reduced finishing costs. Obviously, there are other cost implications, e. g. dedicated finishing operation or modification of an existing line. Nonetheless, the total cost savings on finishing could be significant when factored into other savings. An exact calculation of the potential cost saving obtained by eliminating phosphating and electrocoating is difficult. But as cost modelling has put a value of approximately Dollar 90.00 per vehicle for phosphate and electrocoat, the potential cost saving results in a substantial reduction in the overall finishing cost of a vehicle.
