18、ipment and storage (storagestain).DISCUSSIONThe corrosion-inhibiting characteristics of chemicaltreatments are limited. If chemically-treated material becomes wet inshipment or storage, the product should be used or dried immediately.Some types of chemical treatments may be inappropriate in certaina
19、pplications because of possible undesirable effects further processing,such as phosphatizing, spot welding, or painting. (2007)continuous coating, nof metallic coated steel products, theprocess of uninterrupted passage of long lengths of steelproducts, usually steel sheet, tube, pipe, or wire, throu
20、gh thevarious processing steps such as cleaning, annealing, andcoating.DISCUSSIONContinuous coating involves the use of equipment thatis capable of joining long lengths of product without stoppage of thecoating process. Continuous coating of preformed tube or pipe islimited to the outer surface, sin
21、ce the coating material cannot besupplied to the inner surface. (2006)delamination, nas related to metallic coated steel, theseparation of a coating (either full or partial thickness) fromunderlying layers; the separation can occur in small localizedareas or large areas of surface.DISCUSSIONFlaking,
22、 peeling, and spalling are colloquial termssometimes used to describe the separation.

26、irtually pure zinc onsteel, applied by various methods or processes includinghot-dip process and electrodeposition (electrolytic process).DISCUSSIONFor hot-dipped galvanized coatings, the molten bath istypically at least 99 % zinc; as applied to the steel, the coating typicallycontains intermetallic
27、 layers of zinc-iron alloys adjacent to the steelsurface. Other methods of applying the zinc coating include metalspraying (metallizing), sherardizing, vacuum deposition, and mechani-cal deposition, but there is not general agreement that all produce a“galvanized coating”. There is general agreement
28、 that the coatingproduced by application of zinc-rich paint is not a “galvanizedcoating”. (1999)galvannealed coating, na coating on steel of zinc-basedalloy, containing about 6 to 15 % iron, produced by hot-dipimmersion in a high-zinc content coating bath, followed byheating the steel to induce diff

33、dverse effects of inclusions are minimized by reducing the contentof inclusions in the steel and/or by altering the shape of inclusionsthrough the use of additions during the steelmaking process that changethe elongated shape of the inclusions to less harmful, small, well-dispersed globular inclusio

(2008)lot, na finite quantity of a given product, produced underconditions that are considered uniform for sampling pur-poses.DISCUSSIONIn the case of metallic-coated iron or steel products, theconditions which may be considered necessary for a single lot aresimilar units, coating at approximate
35、ly the same time, in the samemanner, in a single coating bath. Consideration must also be given tothe uniformity of the iron or steel product to which the coating isapplied, such as being from a single heat. For material sampled aftershipment from the manufacturers or coaters facility (where the hea

(1997)nominal thickness, nof steel sheet, an ordering designationwhich indicates that the applicable tolerance for thickness isboth plus and minus from th
