22、ong lengths of product without stoppage of thecoating process. Continuous coating of preformed tube or pipe islimited to the outer surface, since the coating material cannot besupplied to the inner surface. (2006)delamination, nas related to metallic coated steel, theseparation of a coating (either
23、full or partial thickness) fromunderlying layers; the separation can occur in small localizedareas or large areas of surface.DISCUSSIONFlaking, peeling, and spalling are colloquial termssometimes used to describe the separation.

30、s methods or processes includinghot-dip processes and electrodeposition (electrolytic pro-cesses).DISCUSSIONFor hot-dipped galvanized coatings, the molten bath istypically at least 99 % zinc; as applied to the steel, the coating typicallycontains intermetallic layers of zinc-iron alloys adjacent to
31、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 that the coatingproduced by application
32、 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 diffusion alloying between themolten zinc co

36、formability, weldability, and machinability.DISCUSSIONInclusions, especially those elongated during the rollingprocess, create the conditions for initiating, and/or propagating crackswhen the material is stretched or bent during the manufacture of a part.The adverse effects of inclusions are minimiz
37、ed 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 inclusions. (2008)lot, na finite quantity of a g

39、ner, 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 heat orprocessing identification ma

In some cases, the purchaser mayspecify the tolerances unequally, such as +0.006 in., 0.002 in. or+0.20 mm, 0.06 mm. The total tolerance is always the same,
44、whetherindicated equally or unequally, plus and minus. (2003)oiled, adjdescribing a coating applied to metallic coated steelsheet alone or in addition to chemical treatment for furtherprotection against the onset of storage corrosion; the oilcoating is intended as a corrosion inhibitor only and not
