    Designation: A 879 00

    Standard Specication for

    Steel Sheet, Zinc Coated by the Electrolytic Process for Applications Requiring Designation of the Coating Mass on Each Surface1
    This standard is issued under the xed designation A 879; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

    1. Scope 1.1 This specication covers zinc coatings applied by the electrolytic process to hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel sheet. The coating has a smooth, spangle-free surface. The zinccoated sheet covered in this specication is produced in a wide range of coating masses to provide coatings that are compatible with the anticipated service life required. The coating mass varies, from very thin coatings that are usually painted to provide good service, to relatively heavy masses that provide good corrosion resistance in the bare (unpainted) condition. 1.2 The product shall be coated on one or both surfaces with equal or differential coating masses on the two surfaces. Sheet coated with equal coating masses on each surface has similar levels of corrosion protection on each surface. Often, however, a higher level of corrosion protection is required on one surface than is required on the other. Thus one surface is specied to have a heavier coating mass than the other. Either surface, when specied to be painted will provide additional corrosion protection as compared to an unpainted surface. 1.3 This coating process has essentially no effect on the base metal mechanical properties and use is permitted on any grade of hot- or cold-rolled steel sheet. The coated sheet is available as Commercial Steel (CS), Drawing Steel (DS), Deep Drawing Steel (DDS), Extra-Deep Drawing Steel (EDDS), Structural Steel (SS), High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel (HSLAS), or HighStrength Low-Alloy Steel with Improved Formability (HSLAS-F). 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. 2.

Classication 3.1 Coating shall be designated in accordance with Specication A 917. The letter G shall be used to designate pure zinc coatings. 4.

    NOTE 1Steel short is available without surface treatment (dry) or with surface treatments designated as chemical treatment, oiled, or phosphatized. Unless otherwise specied sheet is furnished oiled.

    4.1.11 Special Requirements, is applicable. 4.1.12 Certication, if required, heat analysis and mechanical property report. 5. Coating Mass 5.1 Coating mass shall conform to the requirements for coating designation (mass and type) as given in Specication A 917 and in Table 1 for the specic coating designation. The mass of the coating is the single spot value on each surface of the sheet in grams per square metre. 5.2 Coating Mass Tests: 5.2.1 The weigh-strip-weigh method (see Test Method A 90/A 90M) is a destructive test that determines coating mass by measuring the difference in weight between a coated and a

    stripped (uncoated) sample. If one surface is protected suitably during the initial stripping, coating mass can be determined for each surface independently. Conversion of the coating mass to coating thickness is possible only if the density of the coating is known precisely. 5.2.2 Coating thickness measurements by X-ray uorescence (see Test Method A 754) is a nondestructive test that determines coating mass by converting X-ray uorescence measurements to coating mass values. This method is readily adaptable to the continuous monitoring of coating mass during coating. Thus modern electroplating facilities are frequently equipped with X-ray uorescence gages that provide feedback to control the coating mass. These devices may be used as a basis for determining suitability for shipment provided that they have been calibrated properly. 5.2.3 Measurement by Coulometric Method (see Test Method B 504) is a destructive test that determines lighter coating mass applications. 5.3 The referee method to be used shall be as agreed upon between the producer and the consumer. In the absence of such agreement, Test Method A 90/A 90M shall be used as the referee method. 6. Keywords 6.1 sheet electrolytic zinc coated; zinc coated; zinc coated steel

    Conversion for coating mass in ounces per square foot is g/m2 3 0.00328. The product shall be coated on at least one surface; therefore, the combination 00/00 shall not be specied. C See Specication A 917.
