Amendments This standard differs from DIN 50961:2000-09 as follows: a) the normative references have been updated; b) the definition of the term “electroplated coa
7、ting” has been changed to be in line with DIN EN 12508:2000-09; c) a note on chromating solutions and chromate coating types includes an indication to blue chromate coatings; d) a definition of the term “passivation of zinc coatings” has been added; e) Table 1 “Corrosion resistance of zinc plus chro

9、tary treatments on iron or steel are standardized in DIN EN ISO 2081. This supplementary standard, DIN 50961, was developed because the testing of coatings in industrial atmospheres (formerly known as the “Kesternich test”) is not carried out in many European countries whereas in German industry it
10、is indispensable for the corrosion testing of zinc coatings. For this reason quality requirements also need to be specified for coating systems that are subjected to a DIN 50018 KFW 2,0 S test. Furthermore, zinc coatings that have not been subsequently treated are still occasionally found in practic
11、e, and so requirements are also required to be specified for such coatings. Finally, this standard gives additional information on the surface condition of the object to be coated and also on chromate conversion coating, which has not been included in DIN EN ISO 2081. DIN 50961:2012-04 5 1 Scope Thi
12、s standard is only to be used in conjunction with DIN EN ISO 2081, which specifies requirements to be met by electroplated coatings of zinc with supplementary treatments. This standard supplements the provisions of DIN EN ISO 2081 by specifying, for various service conditions, the minimum requiremen

NOTE 2 As a deviation from the clear chromate conversion coating (Code A in DIN EN ISO 2081), clear chromate conversion coatings with a special iridescent blue surface are also used in Germany.

24、n DIN 50979, the new codes “An” (transparent), “Cn” (iridescent) und “Fn” (black) are defined, and the requirements for these coatings are specified. There are no generally recognized corrosion resistance values for “Fn”. 4 Surface condition of object to be coated The object to be coated shall be fr

Defects in rolled products include cracks, pits, exogenous inclusions, and laminations. In cast pieces, such defects include sink marks, cold laps, cooling
26、cracks, toe cracks and shrinkage voids. It is recommended that the surface quality, and possibly the surfaces microgeometric structure, be agreed on between manufacturer and purchaser, since these can influence coating thickness, the measurement of the thickness, and corrosion behaviour. 5 Accelerat

However, a qualitative assessment of various coating systems is possible. The chromate coatings on th
28、e zinc coatings of the objects or test plates shall be conditioned at room temperature for at least 24 h prior to beginning the corrosion test. The evaluation of the specimens tested in accordance with Tables 1 and 2 is based on the extent of corrosion of the basis metal. The evaluation shall be acc
29、ording to DIN EN ISO 10289. A rating other than 10 may be agreed upon. The number and rating of specimens with a significant surface area smaller than 25 mm is to be agreed. Assessment shall be carried out at normal reading distance without a magnifier. DIN 50961:2012-04 7 Table 1 Corrosion resistan

Wet, freshly applied chromate conversion coatings are sensitive to abrasion. A resistance to abrasion is achieved only by fully dried coatings. 7 Test report The test report shall be drawn up according to DIN EN ISO 10289.
