2、tes the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers zinc coatings ap
3、plied by theelectrolytic process to hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel sheet.The coating has a smooth, spangle-free surface. The zinc-coated sheet covered in this specification is produced in a widerange of coating masses to provide coatings that are compatiblewith the anticipated service life require
4、d. The coating massvaries, from very thin coatings that are usually painted toprovide good service, to relatively heavy masses that providegood corrosion resistance in the bare (unpainted) condition.1.2 The product shall be coated on one or both surfaces withequal or differential coating masses on t
5、he two surfaces. Sheetcoated with equal coating masses on each surface has similarlevels of corrosion protection on each surface. Often, however,a higher level of corrosion protection is required on one surfacethan is required on the other. Thus one surface is specified tohave a heavier coating mass
6、 than the other. Either surface,when specified to be painted will provide additional corrosionprotection as compared to an unpainted surface.1.3 This coating process has essentially no effect on the basemetal mechanical properties and use is permitted on any gradeof hot- or cold-rolled steel sheet.

Coating Mass5.1 Coating mass shall conform to the requirements forcoating designation (mass and type) as given in SpecificationA 917 and in Table 1 for the specific coating designation. Themass of the coating is the sing
21、le spot value on each surface ofthe sheet in grams per square metre for G coatings and ouncesper square foot for Z coatings.5.2 Coating Mass Tests:5.2.1 The weigh-strip-weigh method (see Test MethodA 90/A 90M) is a destructive test that determines coating massby measuring the difference in weight be
22、tween a coated and astripped (uncoated) sample. If one surface is protected suitablyduring the initial stripping, coating mass can be determined foreach surface independently. Conversion of the coating mass tocoating thickness is possible only if the density of the coatingis known precisely.5.2.2 Co
23、ating thickness measurements by X-ray fluores-cence (see Test Method A 754) is a nondestructive test thatdetermines coating mass by converting X-ray fluorescencemeasurements to coating mass values. This method is readilyadaptable to the continuous monitoring of coating mass duringcoating. Thus moder
24、n electroplating facilities are frequentlyequipped with X-ray fluorescence gages that provide feedbackto control the coating mass. These devices may be used as abasis for determining suitability for shipment provided thatthey have been calibrated properly.5.2.3 Measurement by Coulometric Method (see
25、 TestMethod B 504) is a destructive test that determines lightercoating mass applications.5.3 The referee method to be used shall be as agreed uponbetween the producer and the consumer. In the absence of suchagreement, Test Method A 90/A 90M shall be used as thereferee method.5.3.1 Estimate the coat
