Terminology (See Fig. 1)3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 The following terms and definitions are specific to thisspecification. Terminology A902 contains other terms anddefinitions relating to metallic-coated steel products.3

18、.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 average coating thickness, nthe average of threespecimen coating thicknesses.FIG. 1 Single- and Multi-Specimen ArticlesA123/A123M 1523.2.2 black, adjdenotes the condition of not galvanized orotherwise coated. For purposes of this specification

19、the word“black” does not refer to the color or condition of surface, or toa surface deposit or contamination.3.2.3 coating thickness grade, nthe numerical value fromTable 1 at the intersection of a material category and athickness range.3.2.4 gross dross inclusions, nthe iron/zinc intermetallicspres

20、ent in a galvanized coating in a form other than finelydispersed pimples.3.2.4.1 DiscussionThese inclusions would create an ex-posed steel spot if they were removed from the coating. Theseinclusions are raised surfaces and are easily knocked offthrough contact with lifting straps or chains, tools, f

21、ixtures, orother galvanized parts.3.2.5 material category, nthe general class or type ofmaterial or process of manufacture, or both, that nominallydescribes a unit of product, or from which a unit of product ismade. For example, bar grating belongs to the category “strip,”handrail belongs to the cat

22、egory “pipe,” etc.3.2.6 multi-specimen article, na unit of product whosesurface area is greater than 160 in.2100 000 mm2. Forthickness testing purposes, articles whose surface area isgreater than 160 in.2are subdivided into three continuous localsections, nominally equal in surface area, each of whi

23、chconstitutes a specimen. In the case of any such local sectioncontaining more than one material category or steel thicknessrange as delineated in Table 1, that section will contain morethan one specimen (see Fig. 1).3.2.7 sample, na collection of individual units of productfrom a single lot selecte

24、d in accordance with Section 7, andintended to represent that lot for acceptance. If a sample istaken as representing the lot for acceptance, the sample shall betaken at random from the lot without regard to the perceivedquality or appearance of any individual unit in the lot beingsampled. The sampl

25、e consists of one or more test articles.3.2.8 single-specimen article, na unit of product whosesurface area is equal to or less than 160 in.2100 000 mm2orthat is centrifuged or otherwise similarly handled in thegalvanizing process to remove excess galvanizing bath metal(free zinc). For thickness tes

26、ting purposes, the entire surfacearea of each unit of product constitutes a specimen. In the caseof any such article containing more than one material categoryor steel thickness range as delineated in Table 1, that articlewill contain more than one specimen (see Fig. 1).3.2.9 specimen, nthe surface

27、of an individual test articleor a portion of a test article, upon which thickness measure-ments are to be performed, which is a member of a lot, or amember of a sample representing that lot. For magneticthickness measurements, specimen excludes any area of thesurface which is subject to processes (s

28、uch as flame cutting,machining, threading, etc.) that can be expected to result insurface conditions not representative of the general surfacecondition of the test article, or is disqualified by the measure-ment method. The minimum average coating thickness gradefor any specimen shall be one coating

29、 grade below thatrequired for the appropriate material category and thickness inTable 1. For a unit of product whose surface area is equal to orless than 160 in.2100 000 mm2, the entire surface area ofeach test article constitutes a specimen. In the case of an articlecontaining more than one materia

30、l category or steel thicknessrange as delineated in Table 1, that article will contain morethan one specimen, as appropriate (see Fig. 1).3.2.10 specimen coating thickness, nthe average thicknessfrom no less than five test measurements on a specimen, wheneach measurement location is selected to prov

36、plied by thepurchaser to the hot-dip galvanizer prior to galvanizing.NOTE 2The presence in steels and weld metal, in certain percentages,of some elements such as silicon, carbon, and phosphorus tends toaccelerate the growth of the zinc-iron alloy layer so that the coating mayhave a matte finish with

37、 little or no outer zinc layer. The galvanizer hasonly limited control over this condition. The mass, shape, and amount ofcold working of the product being galvanized may also affect thiscondition. Practice A385 provides guidance on steel selection anddiscusses the effects of various elements in ste

38、el compositions (forexample, silicon), that influence coating weight and appearance.5.2 FabricationThe design and fabrication of the productto be galvanized are the responsibilities of the designer and thefabricator. Practices A143/A143M, A384/A384M, and A385provide guidance for steel fabrication fo

39、r optimum hot dipgalvanizing and shall be complied with in both design andfabrication. Consultation between the designer, fabricator, andgalvanizer at appropriate stages in the design and fabricationprocess will reduce future problems.5.3 CastingsThe composition and heat treatment of ironand steel c

40、astings shall conform to specifications designated bythe purchaser. Some types of castings have been known toshow potential problems with predisposition to being em-brittled during the normal thermal cycle of hot-dip galvanizing.It is the responsibility of the purchaser to heat treat orotherwise all

41、ow for the possibility of such embrittling phenom-ena. The requirements for malleable iron castings to begalvanized shall be as stated in Specification A47/A47M.5.4 ZincThe zinc used in the galvanizing bath shallconform to Specification B6, or Specification B960, or both. Ifa zinc alloy is used as t

42、he primary feed to the galvanizing bath,then the base material used to make that alloy shall conform toSpecification B6, or Specification B960, or both.5.5 Bath CompositionThe molten metal in the workingvolume of the galvanizing bath shall contain not less than anaverage value of 98.0 % zinc by weig

43、ht.NOTE 3The galvanizer may choose to add trace amounts of certainelements (for example, aluminum, nickel, and tin) to the zinc bath to helpin the processing of certain reactive steels or to enhance the cosmeticappearance of the finished product. The use of these trace elements ispermitted provided

44、that the bulk chemistry of the galvanizing bath is atleast 98.0 % zinc by weight. The elements can be added to the galvanizingbath as part of a pre-alloyed zinc feed, or they can be added to the bath bythe galvanizer using a master feed alloy.6. Coating Properties6.1 Coating ThicknessThe average thi

45、ckness of coatingfor all specimens tested shall conform to the requirements ofTable 1 for the categories and thicknesses of the material beinggalvanized. Minimum average thickness of coating for anyindividual specimen is one coating grade less than that requiredin Table 1. Where products consisting

46、of various materialthicknesses or categories are galvanized, the coating thicknessgrades for each thickness range and material category ofmaterial shall be as shown in Table 1. In the case of orders inSI units, the values in Table 1, shall be applicable as metricunits in micrometres. In the case of

47、orders in inch-pound units,the measured value shall be converted to coating grade units bythe use of Table 2. The specification of coating thicknessesheavier than those required by Table 1 shall be subject tomutual agreement between the galvanizer and the purchaser.(Fig. 2 is a graphic representatio

48、n of the sampling andspecimen delineation steps, and Fig. 3 is a graphic representa-tion of the coating thickness inspection steps.)6.1.1 For articles whose surface area is greater than 160 in.2100 000 mm2 (multi-specimen articles), each test article inthe sample must meet the appropriate minimum av

49、eragecoating thickness grade requirements of Table 1, and eachspecimen coating thickness grade comprising that overallaverage for each test article shall average not less than onecoating grade below that required in Table 1.6.1.2 For articles whose surface area is equal to or less than160 in.2100 000 mm2 (single-specimen articles), the averageof all test articles in the sample must meet the appropriateminimum average coating thickness grade requirements ofTable 1, and for each test article, its specimen coating thicknessshal
