For test method, see 11.1.D Visual inspection for conformance.F2329/F2329M 152NOTE 1The scope of this spe
28、cification does not cover the requirements regarding the overtapping of galvanized nuts. These requirements areestablished by the applicable product standard, such as Specification A563, Specification A563M (or others), or in writing by the purchaser, if needed.5.5 Secondary Processing:5.5.1 When re
29、quested by the purchaser, treatments such as chromating or phosphating shall be applied to reduce the possibilityof wet storage staining (white corrosion) or to assist subsequent painting.5.5.2 When specified on the purchase order, the nuts, bolts, or screws shall be lubricated to enhance assembly.5
30、.6 Touch-up and RepairBare, cut, or damaged spots found on fasteners after galvanizing, totaling less than 1% of the coatedsurface area, may be repaired with paints containing zinc dust. Such paints shall have zinc-dust concentrations of 65 to 69% orconcentrations above 92% in the dried film. The re
31、pairing party shall select the paint and follow its application instructions. Theapplied coating shall provide barrier protection, and preferably be anodic to steel. Thickness measurements of repaired areas shallnot be required.NOTE 2Experience shows that, in general, organic zinc-rich systems are t
32、olerant of marginal surface preparation and are not critical of climactic oratmospheric conditions for curing. Corrosion resistance and service performance are very dependent on the properties of the paint system, the extent ofsurface preparation, and the skills of individual applicators. See Practi
33、ce A780A780/A780M.6. Chemical Composition of Zinc6.1 Unless otherwise specified in the product standard, the zinc used for the coating shall conform to the requirements of thesection on Zinc of Specification A153/A153M.7. Safeguards Against Alteration of Fasteners Mechanical Properties7.1 Stress Rel
34、iefFasteners subjected to severe work hardening shall be stress-relieved by the fastener manufacturer prior tohot-dip zinc coating (galvanizing).7.2 Hot-Dip Zinc Coating:7.2.1 Effect of Temperature on Mechanical Properties:7.2.1.1 Galvanizing carried out at a temperature above 800F 425C can adversel
35、y affect the final mechanical properties ofthe fasteners. Therefore, the supplier of the fasteners submitting the product to the galvanizer shall be aware of the temperingtemperature of the fasteners relative to the temperature of the galvanizing bath and the potential effect it may have on the prod
36、uct.When requested by the purchaser, the average galvanizing temperature that the fasteners will be subjected to shall be furnished.7.2.1.2 Unless otherwise required by the product standard or by the purchaser, testing for mechanical properties is not necessaryif the galvanizing process is carried o
37、ut at a lower temperature than the stress relief or tempering temperature of the fasteners. Ifthe galvanizing process is carried out at a higher temperature than the stress relief or the tempering temperature of the fasteners,than the purchaser shall make provision for mechanical testing.7.2.1.3 Thr
38、eaded fasteners made from carbon or alloy steel heat treated to a minimum specified hardness of 40 HRC, or casehardened steel fasteners shall not be hot-dip zinc coated.7.2.2 Effect of Hydrogen on the Mechanical Properties after GalvanizingHydrogen has the potential of being introduced intothe steel
39、 during acid pickling, prior to hot-dip galvanizing. For high strength fasteners (having a specified minimum producthardness of 33 HRC), there is a risk of internal hydrogen embrittlement. If required by the product standard or by the purchaser,mechanical descaling (with or without flash pickling) o
40、r baking shall be conducted to reduce the risk of internal hydrogenembrittlement. Baking shall be conducted after pickling and prior to hot-dip galvanizing.7.2.3 Effect of the Galvanizing TemperatureExternally threaded ferrous fasteners over 1.00 in. M24 diameter with aspecified minimum hardness of
41、HRC 33 and higher shall not be hot-dip zinc coated at high temperature (see definition in 3.1.4)in order to avoid microcracks.8. Coating and Dimensional Requirements8.1 Coating ThicknessThe zinc coating thickness shall meet the requirements of Table 2. See Supplementary Requirement S1when specifying
42、 coating thickness for fasteners meeting the requirements of Specification A394.8.2 DimensionThe dimensional characteristics of the fasteners shall be in accordance with the requirements of the purchaser,when specified in the order.The purchaser shall ensure that the effect of the heat generated by
43、the galvanizing process is compatiblewith the fastener regarding the final dimensional characteristics of the parts. Furthermore, the galvanizer shall not be heldresponsible for any unanticipated distortion of parts. In addition, the purchaser shall provide fasteners having sufficient dimensionalall
44、owance to accommodate the zinc thickness deposition, as required in 8.1.8.3 Adhesion of Zinc CoatingThe zinc coating shall adhere tenaciously to the surface of the base metal.The method for testingthe condition of adherence is specified in 11.5.9. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance9.1 Appearance of
45、 Zinc Coating:F2329/F2329M 1539.1.1 After hot-dip galvanizing, the fasteners shall meet the requirements of the section on Workmanship, Finish, andAppearance of Specification A153/A153M. Galvanized washers shall not be bonded to each other (See Note 3). Parts may be dulldue to the presence of silico
46、n in the steel. The dull appearance shall not be cause for rejection.NOTE 3Hot-dip washers tend to bond to each other. Suitable acceptance criteria shall be agreed between the purchaser and the galvanizer beforeplacing the order. Unless otherwise agreed to in the purchase order, delivered galvanized
47、 washers shall not be bonded to each other.9.1.2 The test method shall be in accordance with 11.3.9.2 Smoothness of Zinc Coating:9.2.1 The zinc coating shall be smooth and reasonably uniform in thickness, as defined in the section on Workmanship, Finish,and Appearance of Specification A153/A153M. Sm
48、oothness of a surface is a relative term. Minor roughness that does not impairthe intended use of the part, or roughness that is related to the uncoated surface condition of the part, shall not constitute groundsfor rejection of the parts.9.2.2 The test method shall be in accordance with 11.3.10. Sa
