21、BSI 2009 1BS 7371-3:2009Introduction The BS 7371 series deals with the performance and selection of coatings on metal fasteners and accessories. This Part of BS 7371 addresses zinc electroplated coatings.The coating has a silver appearance which can be modified to yellow, olive green or black by a h

22、exavalent chromium containing conversion (passivation) treatment applied to improve corrosion resistance. Tri-valent chromium containing top coatings can be applied which will give a transparent to bluish iridescence or pale green iridescence.Additional coatings are available to further modify colou

23、r but these may influence coating performance, e.g. lubricity or electrical conductivity.The shape of certain parts may create difficulties in the application of a coating of uniform thickness and reference to the coater is recommended to enquire if a difficulty exists or if it can be overcome by th

24、e use of specialized processing methods.Typical difficulties as outlined in BS 4479-1 and BS 4479-2 arise when bulk processing:a) long thin parts;b) parts with flat surfaces that can stick together during processing, e.g. flat washers;c) parts with recesses which do not receive the full coating;d) p

25、arts with shapes that induce nesting and interlocking;e) the internal surfaces of hollow parts.The coatings are suitable for application to metal components such as the following:1) parallel threaded fasteners and accessories;2) screws that cut or form their own threads, e.g. self tapping screws (se

26、e for example BS 4174);3) woodscrews (see for example BS 1210);4) springs and spring components;5) pipe nuts and connectors with parallel or tapered threads.When these coatings are applied to non-ferrous fasteners, the relevant part of the specification that will apply will be the coating thickness

27、requirement. These coatings are not to be specified for application to copper or copper alloys unless an undercoat is also specified, e.g. nickel.NOTE The coating processes covered by this British Standard might induce hydrogen embrittlement in certain ferrous fasteners. Attention is drawn to the ap

28、propriate requirements in BS 7371-1.Annexes include tables indicating suitable coating grades for standard screw threads and methods of determination of coating thickness.BS 7371-3:20092 BSI 2009BRITISH STANDARD1 ScopeThis Part of BS 7371 specifies requirements for coatings applied by the electrolys

29、is of solutions of zinc. NOTE The coatings consist principally of zinc and can be lubricated to give controlled torque/clamping force properties when required (see, for example, BS 7371-2). In addition to the requirements in this Part of BS 7371, the requirements in BS 7371-1 which are applicable to

30、 zinc electroplated coatings apply.This Part of BS 7371 also specifies requirements for:a) the coating thickness;b) the type of conversion treatment or topcoat to be applied;c) quality assessment of the corrosion resistance of unused coated parts when subjected to neutral salt spray testing (for exa

31、mple BS EN ISO 9227); andd) an adhesion test.Zinc electroplated coatings covered by this Part of BS 7371 are for use on fasteners and accessories where the following apply:1) A coating giving galvanic protection is required for ferrous fasteners.2) A substrate is required to improve the corrosion re

32、sistance of subsequent coatings on ferrous fasteners, e.g. organic.3) The risk of hydrogen embrittlement of high tensile steel fasteners is acceptable.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

37、ccordance with BS 7371-1.NOTE Embrittlement of high tensile parts should be avoided.4.2 Type of coatingThe coating shall be either silver in appearance or modified by chromate passivation types C, D or Bk, or tri-valent topcoat types V or W (see Clause 6).NOTE 1 The colour may be further modified by

38、 the addition of an organic top coat.The coating shall be electrically conductive and galvanically protective to steel under most climatic conditions.NOTE 2 The presence of passivates, particularly the coloured ones, decreases electrical conductivity at the surface.Where specified by the purchaser s

39、ee Clause 8e) the lubricity of the coating shall be modified by the addition of a lubricant and the torque/clamping force performance of a coated fastener shall conform to BS 7371-2.NOTE 3 The addition of an organic coating might affect dimensions, lubricity and electrical conductivity.4.3 Applicati

40、onThe coating of zinc shall be applied by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of a salt or salts of the appropriate metal.NOTE Stabilizers and brighteners may be added to the solution as necessary.5 Coating5.1 Surface conditionThe coating shall be clean, dry and of uniform appearance. All surfac

41、es of a component shall be coated unless otherwise agreed. The coating shall be free from blisters or loosely-adhering material.5.2 Coating thicknessThe specified coating thickness see Clause 8b) shall be applied using the relationships between nominal, local and batch average thicknesses shown in T

42、able 1; if coating thicknesses other than those given in Table 1 are required, this shall be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier.BS 7371-3:20094 BSI 2009BRITISH STANDARDCoating thicknesses for threaded parts shall confirm to Annex A. The coating thicknesses shall be measured by the methods

43、 described in Annex B.Local thickness shall be measured on a significant surface (see Figure B.1 for measuring areas).Exceeding the maximum batch average thickness shall not be a cause for rejection if the coated thread is still accepted by an appropriate GO gauge, 4h for external threads and 4H for
