The coating is produced on a continuous hot dipped galvanizing line followed by a thermal treatment. The zinc-iron alloy shall be a completely alloyed coating. This

15、 product is not spangled and has the tendency to powder when severely formed. For this reason, the bulk iron content of the coating shall be 8% to 12% by mass, when tested per GMW4795 or other regionally accepted specification, in order to eliminate flaking problems.

All bend tests shall be conducted in accordance with ISO 7438. For all steels supplied according to GMW2 and

18、 GMW3032 with 0.2% offset yield strength 500 MPa and all GMW3399 grades, the steel must be capable of a 90 degree test in any direction with a maximum test radius (r) related to the steel thickness (t) without flaking on the outside of the bend. Refer to Appendix A, Table A1 for maximum bend test ra

19、dii for each grade and a diagram of the test setup (Appendix A, Figure A1). For testing of all steels, flaking of the coating within 6 mm of the edge of the bend test shall not be cause for rejection. The specimens shall not be cut 25 mm from the coil edges of the test sheet. 3.1.2.2 Coated Base Met

20、al. The mechanical properties of the coated material in the as delivered condition shall conform to the requirements specified in the applicable GMW or industry substrate standards. 3.1.3 Physical Requirements. Coating mass and finish quality shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1.

26、 Coating mass shall be measured by triple spot test and must conform to the values in Table 1. The mass shall be the average of three (3) measurements taken across the width of the strip at least 25 mm from each edge. In no case shall the lowest value of any of the three (3) test samples fall below

27、the minimum individual spot requirement in Table 1. Each side should be measured separately to ensure that the requirements of Table 1 are met. 3.1.3.2 Coating Thickness. Coating thickness measurements may be used for routine quality control evaluations. Coating thickness shall be measured using a s

30、cm3 shall be used for pure zinc and zinc-iron alloy (galvannealed) coatings. 3.1.3.3 Coating Surface Quality. The steel shall be free from surface defects as negotiated between purchaser and supplier. For unexposed (U) surfaces defects such as, slight indentations, small marks, minor scratches, and

31、slight coloring, which do not affect corrosion resistance, formability or the application of surface coatings are allowed. Exposed (E) surface shall be free of defects which might affect the uniform appearance of quality paint or an electrolytic coating, electrodeposited primer (ELPO), cathodic e-co

32、at. Semi-exposed (Z) surfaces are spangle free and skin passed (temper rolled) to impart a higher degree of smoothness than is normal for as coated products. Certain applications require that both surfaces of the steel be of exposed (E) or semi-exposed (Z) surface quality. Temper rolling may be requ

33、ired and shall be specified with a (T) designation. The other surfaces shall conform at least to surface quality (U). Regulations in detail will be issued by the local business unit. 3.1.3.4 Surface Texture. Specific requirements for the texture for each region are detailed in GMW16823. Copyright Ge
