24、dual product specifications.5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 Hot-dip metallic coatings are used to provide corrosionprotection to steel sheets. Hot-dip metallic coatings are avail-able in six different types, zinc and zinc-iron alloy, lead-tinalloy (Terne), aluminum, 55 % aluminum-zinc alloy, zinc-5
25、%aluminum alloy, and zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy. Eachcoating type is available in various coating weights whichprovide varying degrees of corrosion protection and the con-sumer should consult the individual producers for applicabilityto the intended application and to obtain product information.5
26、.2 Hot-dip metallic coated products may be subject tochanges in mechanical properties after coating. As suchchanges are functions of the chemistry and processing historyof the material, the consumer should consult the individualproducers for applicability to the intended application.6. Chemical Comp
27、osition6.1 Base Steel:6.1.1 Chemical composition requirements of the base steelare shown in the individual product specifications.6.1.2 An analysis of each heat shall be made by themanufacturer to determine the percentage of carbon, manga-nese, phosphorus, sulfur, and any other elements specified or
28、restricted by the individual product specification.6.1.3 When desired, product analysis shall be made by thepurchaser on finished product. The product analysis so deter-mined shall meet the tolerances shown in Table 1.6.1.3.1 Capped or rimmed steels are not technologicallysuited to product analysis
29、due to the nonuniform character oftheir chemical composition, and therefore, the tolerances inTable 1 do not apply. Product analysis is appropriate on thesesteels only when misapplication is apparent.6.1.3.2 Product analysis for phosphorus or sulfur is nottechnologically appropriate because of segre
30、gation of theseelements in non-killed steels. Product analysis is appropriateonly when misapplication is apparent.6.1.3.3 Samples for product analysis shall be drillingsthrough areas stripped free of coating. At least three piecesshall be selected, but if the product of more than one mill liftor coi
31、l is involved, at least six pieces shall be selected.6.1.3.4 When supplying High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel(HSLA), some producers use one or more microalloyingelements as strengthening agents or use alloy additions to effect3Available from Yale University Library, Standardization Documents OrderDesk,

Tests for Coating Properties8.1 Coating Weight Mass:8.1.1 Coating weight mass shall conform to the require-ments prescribed in the individual product specificat
41、ions (see1.3).8.1.2 The coating weight mass of equally coated productis the total amount on both sides of the sheet, expressed inounces per square foot grams per square metre of sheet.8.1.3 For differentially coated product, the coating weightmass on each surface is nominally one half of the statedc
42、oating designation.8.2 Coating Weight Mass TestsOne of the following testmethods shall be used:8.2.1 Weigh-Strip-Weigh Method:8.2.1.1 The weigh-strip-weigh method, described in TestMethodsA 90/A 90M,A 309, andA 428/A 428M, is a destruc-tive test that determines coating weight mass by measuringthe di
43、fference in weight mass between a coated and a stripped(uncoated) sample. If one surface is protected suitably duringthe initial stripping, coating weight mass can be determinedfor each surface independently.8.2.1.2 Test specimens for product over 18 in. 450 mm inwidth shall be taken from a represen
44、tative sample pieceapproximately 1 ft 300 mm in length by the associated width.Three test specimens shall be taken from the sample, one fromthe middle of the width and one from each edge. The edgesamples shall not be taken closer than 2 in. 50 mm from eachedge. The test specimen shall have a minimum
45、 area of 5in.23200 mm2.8.2.1.3 For product 18 in. 450 mm in width and narrower,only one test specimen is required. Specimens shall be at least2 in. 50 mm from the edge, when possible. For productnarrower than 2.25 in. 60 mm the test specimen shall bechosen to give a minimum area of 5 in.23200 mm2.8.
46、2.1.4 The triple-spot coating weight mass shall be theaverage of the determinations of the three tests done inaccordance with the procedures in 8.2.1.2.8.2.1.5 The minimum single-spot coating weight massshall be that test result that is the lightest coating weightmass, or in those cases where only o
47、ne test is needed, it shallbe that single test result.8.2.1.6 The frequency of sampling shall be sufficient toadequately characterize the lot of material being tested.8.2.2 X-Ray Fluorescence Method:8.2.2.1 The X-ray fluorescence method is a nondestructivetest that determines coating weight mass by
48、converting X-rayfluorescence measurements to coating weight mass values.X-ray fluorescence gages can be used as off-line laboratoryinstruments or as a means of continuous on-line testing forconformance to coating weight mass requirements, or both.8.2.2.2 Off-Line TestingX-ray fluorescence gages can
49、beused as off-line laboratory instruments to test for coatingweight mass provided that they have been calibrated inaccordance with Test Method A 754/A 754M and use thesample test locations as described in 8.2.1.2 or 8.2.1.3.8.2.2.3 On-Line TestingWhen X-ray fluorescence gagesare used for on-line testing, they shall be operated in accor-dance with Test Method A 754/A 754M. A minimum of fiverandom full-width traverses shall be used to characterize eachcoil tested.(a) The triple-spot coating weight mass of a coil shall be
