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 %aluminum alloy, and
25、 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.5.2 Hot-dip metallic
26、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.

27、l: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 orrestricted by the in
28、dividual 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 due to the nonunifor
29、m 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 segregation of theseeleme
30、nts 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 coil is involved, at le
31、ast 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 effectinclusion control, or both.
