Other methods of applying the zinc coating include metalspraying (metallizing), sherardizing, vacuum deposition, and mechani-cal deposition,
28、but there is not general agreement that all produce a“galvanized coating”. There is general agreement 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

(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, thec
35、onditions which may be considered necessary for a single lot aresimilar units, coating at approximately 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 sing
