Ordering Information4.1 Ordering information for all products are shown in theindividual product specifications.5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 Hot-dip metallic coatings are used to provide corrosio
26、nprotection to steel sheets. Hot-dip metallic coatings are avail-able in five different types, zinc and zinc-iron alloy, aluminum,55 % aluminum-zinc alloy, zinc-5 % aluminum alloy, andzinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy. Each coating type is avail-able in various coating weights which provide varying degr
27、eesof corrosion protection and the consumer should consult theindividual producers for applicability to the intended applica-tion and to obtain product information.5.2 Hot-dip metallic coated products may be subject tochanges in mechanical properties after coating. As suchchanges are functions of th
28、e chemistry and processing historyof the material, the consumer should consult the individualproducers for applicability to the intended application.6. Chemical Composition6.1 Base Steel:6.1.1 Chemical composition requirements of the base steelare shown in the individual product specifications.6.1.2
29、 An analysis of each heat shall be made by themanufacturer to determine the percentage of carbon,manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and any other elements speci-fied or restricted by the individual product specification.6.1.3 When desired, product analysis shall be made by thepurchaser on finished produ
30、ct. 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 nonuniform character oftheir chemical composition, and therefore, the tolerances inTable 1 do not apply. Product analysis is
31、 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 theseelements in non-killed steels. Product analysis is appropriateonly when misapplication is apparent.6.1.3.3 Samples for p

At least three piecesshall be selected, but if the product of more than one mill liftor coil 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

Tests for Mechanical Properties7.1 Test specimens shall be prepared from finished metallic-coated product.7.2 Mechanical Properties-Base MetalWhen base metalmechanical properties are specified, tests shall be conducted inaccordance with Test Methods A370. Requirement

Unless specified in the orde
40、r, the producer shalldetermine the method to be used; however, in the event of adispute the method in 7.2.1.2 shall be used.7.2.1.2 The base metal thickness shall be determined bystripping the coating from the ends of the specimen contactingthe grips of the tension testing machine. The thickness mea
41、-surement shall be made before testing on an end of thespecimen that has been stripped free of coating.7.2.1.3 The base metal thickness shall be determined bysubtracting the coating thickness from the measured thicknessof the tension test specimen. The coating thickness shall becalculated from the c
42、oating weight mass test.7.2.1.4 Two tension tests shall be made from each heat andordered thickness for all thickness ranges of 0.020 in.0.51 mm for cold rolled substrate and thickness ranges of0.050 in. 1.27 mm for hot rolled substrate. If testing isperformed on a per coil basis, only one tension t
43、est shall berequired for each master coil.(1) Example: For cold rolled substrate, if ordered thicknessis 0.046 in. 1.17 mm, there must be two test results within anyrange of 0.020 in. 0.51 mm, including but not limited to thefollowing:0.026 in. through 0.046 in. 0.66 mm through 1.17 mm0.046 in. thro

48、 and A428/A428M, is a destructive testthat determines coating weight mass by measuring thedifference 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.
