METHOD FOR THE ANTICORROSIVE TREATMENT AND JOINING OF METAL PARTS

Method for the anticorrosive treatment and joining of metal parts, characterized by the following steps performed in the specified sequence: i) if appropriate, initial anticorrosive treatment of a metal sheet or metal strip, ii) application of a coating agent based on organic polymers to the metal sheet or metal strip, the coating agent not containing any electrically conductive pigments, and curing of this coating agent, the coating agent being applied with such a wet film thickness that a layer with a thickness in the range from 1 to 3 µm is obtained after the thermal or radiation-induced curing, iii) cutting up of the metal sheet or metal strip into sheet parts, which can, if required, undergo forming, iv) joining of the sheet parts to one another or to other sheet parts by arc welding using a welding electrode, wherein at least 10%, particularly preferably at least 30%, of the endurance of the uncoated sheet parts is achieved.
