3、ncies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers zinc coatings applied by thehot-dip process on iron and steel hardware. The hot-dipgalvanizing process consists of parts being immersed in moltenzinc for a sufficient time to allow a metallurgical reactionbetween iron from the

4、 steel surface and the molten zinc,resulting in the formation of Zn/Fe alloy layers bonding thecoating to the steel surface.1.2 This specification is intended to be applicable to hard-ware items that are centrifuged or otherwise handled to removeexcess galvanizing bath metal (free zinc). Coating thi

5、cknessgrade requirements reflect this.1.3 This specification is applicable to orders in eitherinch-pound units (as A 153) or in SI units (as A 153M).Inch-pound units and SI units are not necessarily exactequivalents. Within the text of this specification and whereappropriate, SI units are shown in b

6、rackets. Each system shallbe used independently of the other without combining values inany way. In the case of orders in SI units, all testing andinspection shall be done using the metric equivalent of the testor inspection method as appropriate. In the case of orders in SIunits, such shall be stat

7、ed to the galvanizer when the order isplaced.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

The thickness of the repair shall be equal to thesurrounding galvanized coating except for repairs made bypaints containing zinc dust in which case the thickness of therepair shall be 50 % greater than the thickness of the galva-nized coating required for the class of mat

32、erial, but shall not begreater than 4.0 mils 100 m. Repair thickness measurementsshall be made in accordance with Practice A 780. The galva-nizer shall make repairs unless directed by the purchaser todeliver items unrepaired for subsequent renovation by thepurchaser.5. Workmanship, Finish, and Appea

33、rance5.1 The zinc-coated articles shall be free from uncoatedareas, blisters, flux deposits, dross inclusions, and other typesof projections that would interfere with the intended use of thearticles, or other defects not consistent with good galvanizingpractice.5.2 The zinc coating shall be smooth a

34、nd reasonably uni-form in thickness.NOTE 2Smoothness of surface is a relative term. Minor roughnessthat does not interfere with the intended use of the part, or roughness thatis related to the as-received (ungalvanized) surface condition of the part,shall not be grounds for rejection.NOTE 3Since thi

35、s specification is applicable to items that are centri-fuged or otherwise handled to remove excess bath metal (see 1.2),irregular coating distribution is not normally encountered. Drainageproblems, which manifest themselves as local excess coating thicknessthat would interfere with function or as ed

36、ge tears or spikes that presenta safety hazard because of their sharpness, are grounds for rejection underthe terms of 5.1.5.3 Embrittlement is a potential condition of steel that iscold-worked, depending on such factors as the steel type(strength level, aging characteristics), thickness, degree of

37、coldwork, and galvanizing process. The galvanizer, the designerand the fabricator shall take precautions against embrittlement.The precautions to fabricate properly and prepare the materialfor galvanizing to prevent embrittlement are described inPractice A 143/A 143M.NOTE 4Low service temperatures i

38、ncrease the risk of brittle failure ofall plain carbon steels including those which have been galvanized. Thistemperature embrittling effect varies with type of steel. The expectedservice temperature should thus be taken into account when selectingsteels for galvanizing.5.4 Malleable castings shall

39、be of such composition as willpreclude the possibility that they become embrittled by thegalvanizing process, or they shall be either cooled from theanneal, or subsequently heat-treated so as to immunize themagainst embrittlement.5.5 The zinc coating shall adhere tenaciously to the surfaceof the bas

40、e metal.5.6 If the galvanized material covered by this specificationis bent or otherwise fabricated to the degree that causes the zinccoatings to stretch or compress beyond the limit of elasticity,any cracking or flaking of the coating resulting from thebending or fabricating shall not be cause for

41、rejection.6. Sampling6.1 Test specimens shall be selected at random from eachinspection lot.6.2 The method of selection and sample size shall be agreedupon between the galvanizer and the purchaser. Otherwise, thesample size selected from each lot shall be as follows:Number of Pieces in Lot Sample Si

43、ndards of the Fastener Quality Act is describedin Guide F 1470. Sample quantities and definitions of termi-nology are included in the referenced specification.7. Test Methods7.1 Tests shall be made to ensure that the zinc coating isbeing furnished in accordance with this specification and asspecifie

44、d for the following:7.1.1 Minimum coating weight mass or minimum coatingthickness in 4.3.7.1.2 Finish and appearance in 5.1 and 5.2.7.1.3 Embrittlement in 5.3 and 5.4.7.1.4 Adherence in 5.5.7.2 Average Weight Mass of Coating:7.2.1 The average weight mass of the zinc coating shall bedetermined by wei

45、ghing specimens after pickling and dryingand again after galvanizing unless the method described in7.2.2 is used. The number of specimens that are used todetermine the average of an inspection lot shall be derivedfrom Section 6.NOTE 5This method does not take into account the weight mass ofiron reac

46、ted from the article that is incorporated into the coating. It willthus underestimate coating weight mass by up to approximately 10 %.Base metal reactivity will affect the extent of underestimation.7.2.2 In the case of materials inspected after galvanizing,the average weight mass of coating shall be

47、 determined bystripping the number of specimens derived in Section 6 inaccordance with Test Method A 90/A 90M, and averaging theresults of the individual specimens, unless the method de-scribed in 7.2.1 is used.7.3 Average Thickness of Coating:7.3.1 In the case of fasteners such as bolts, nuts, and

48、screws,the determination of the thickness of coating shall be made ona portion of the article that does not include any threads.7.3.2 The average thickness of coating shall be determinedby magnetic thickness gage in accordance with Practice E 376unless the method described in 7.3.3 is used. The thic

49、knessshall be measured on at least five widely separated spots on aspecimen. No individual spot measurement shall be cause forrejection. If an individual spot does not provide a coatingthickness reading, this spot must be repaired in accordancewith 4.5. The five or more individual coating thicknessmeasurements on a specimen must be averaged to determinethe specimen average coating thickness. The average coatingthickness for the inspection lot is determin
