32、rfaces of a sheet, nor is the coating evenlydistributed from edge to edge. However, it can normally be expected that not lessthan 40 % of the single-spot test limit will be found on either surface.A792/A792M 09a2form over a given radius under shop conditions. These factorsinclude thickness, strength
33、 level, degree of restraint, relation-ship to rolling direction, chemistry, and base metal microstruc-ture. Table X2.1 lists the suggested minimum inside radii for90 cold bending for Structural Steels. They presuppose “hardway” bending (bend axis parallel to the rolling direction) andreasonably good
34、 shop forming practices. Where possible, theuse of larger radii or “easy way” bends are recommended forimproved performance.7.4.2 Fabricators should be aware that cracks may initiateupon bending a sheared or cold-worked edge. This is notconsidered to be a fault of the steel but is rather a function
35、ofthe induced localized cold-work zone.8. Coating Properties8.1 Coating Weight Mass8.1.1 Coating weight mass shall conform to the require-ments as shown in Table 1 for the specific coating designation.8.1.2 Use the following relationships to estimate the coatingthickness from the coating weight mass
