This Bosch-Norm has to be observed by suppliers if it is part of the contract for delivery.
1 Scope
This Bosch-Norm specifies requirements, tests and types of coatings of zinc and zinc alloys.
Note: For the structure of the Bosch designation for coatings of zinc and zinc alloys see N67F CM-ZN.
2 External standards
The Bosch designations used in this Bosch-Norm for coatings of zinc and zinc alloys are based on:
f DIN 50979 (2008-07)
Metallic coatings - Electroplated coatings of zinc and zinc alloys on iron or steel with supplementary
Cr(VI)-free treatment
f DIN EN ISO 10683 (2001-02)
Fasteners - Non-electrolytically applied zinc flake coatings

SIENO property rights. 4497037031
Bosch-Norm | 4497037031 | N67F CM-ZN-2 | 2011-05-13 |3
In order to assure the dimensional stability of coated threads, the thread diameters in uncoated condition
have to be adapted to the intended coat structure. Before coating, internal diameters have to be
manufactured respectively larger and the external diameter respectively smaller (see DIN EN ISO 4042
(2001-01)).
3.4 Adhesion of coating
The test specimens are stored during 30 minutes at 210 °C to 230 °C and then immediately quenched in
water with a temperature of 15 °C to 25 °C. Spalling and blistering of the coat is not permissible (thermal
shock test based on DIN EN ISO 2819 (1995-01)).
Note: If suitable, additional testing on adhesive strength by bending or grinding of the parts is
recommended.
3.5 Absence of Cr(VI)
The applied coating has to be Cr(VI)-free in accordance with DIN EN 15205 (2007-02).
Because it is difficult to identify Cr(VI) in zinc flake coatings they have to be free from chromium
compounds.

3.6 Avoidance of hydrogen induced, delayed ductility-dip cracks and fractures when
coating high-strength steel parts
3.6.1 Restricting the strenght values
The decisive material parameters are tensile strength and ductility. With increasing strength the
endangerment through hydrogen decreases. The Bosch-Norm specifies the following limit values:
f parts where the tensile strength is Rm < 1000 MPa are uncritical, the process conditions for coating are
not specified,
f all steel parts where the tensile strength is Rm 1000 MPa are considered high-strength parts, the
process conditions for coating (see 3.6.3) must be observed,
f parts where the tensile strength is 2000 MPa must not be coated in accordance with this Bosch-
Norm.
For classification of the strength, the upper tolerance of the material specification applies.
3.6.2 Requirements on parts to be coated
3.6.2.1 Heat treatment and structural condition
Quench-hardening and tempering of parts
After hardening, the structure shall have at least 90 % martensite. Tempering of the parts shall be
performed at 360 °C.
Exceptions for partially hardened screws are specified by the Bosch-Norms N38A SR5 and N38A SR6
and/or for case hardened screws by Bosch-Norm N38A SR10. ...
By applying inductive tempering, threaded parts with hardnesses > 540 HV (over the entire cross section)
shall reach in the thread zone hardness values < 540 HV.
Edge oxidation
Edge oxidation acts like notching with high stress concentration factors (Dk > 5). State-of-the art measures
are to be taken in order to keep the edge oxidation as minimum as possible.
Note: Heat treatments without vacuum can achieve an edge oxidation of 15 m for case hardened parts
and 5 m for quench-hardened and tempered parts.

3.6.2.2 Coverings
Heat treatments can produce or burn-in coverings. Their defective coat structure impair a subsequent
metal deposition. Therefore the coverings have to be removed. This can be done to a limited extent
through pretreatment before the coating process, e.g. through pickling, derusting or shot peening. Where
such a pretreatment is not successful, special measures during or before the heat treatment are required,
for example:
f quench-hardening and tempering under inert gas or vacuum
f cleaning of the parts before hardening or tempering
f use of precoppered steel wire for springs
3.6.2.3 Shape
For punched parts, overlappings with cavity formation on the shearing surfaces are inadmissible because
pickling acid or electrolytes may be retained due to capillary action and embedded during electroplating.
This may lead to hydrogen formation. Because cracks, laminations and the like have the same effect,
electroplated parts may have only minimum surface defects.
Under mechanical load, notches on parts cause stress concentrations and enhance hydrogen induced
ductility-dip cracks and fractures. The stress concentration degree is usually determined through the
stress concentration factor Dk. For details on the coaction of stress concentration factor, part strength and
restrictions to load see Bosch-Norm N67F CM-ZN-1.
3.6.2.4 Heat treatment for reduction of internal stress
Case hardening or surface hardening, plastic forming or machining such as grinding of parts produce high
internal stresses. These may produce cracks even already during pickling or electroplating. Such parts
require heat treatment before pickling or electrolytical treatment in accordance with Table 2.

Pickling
Steel parts react when pickled with acids (or acid solutions) by dissoluting the metal oxides and the metal.
During the metal dissolution atomic hydrogen develops. The absorption of hydrogen by the part can be
significantly influenced with inhibitors. However, inhibition against metal removal does not necessarily
mean an effective inhibition against hydrogen absorption.
Observe the following conditions when pickling:
f pickling is only permissible in inhibited pickling solution
f the positive effect of the inhibitor used to reduce the hydrogen absorption shall be certified. Suitable
methods are for example:
f pickling tests with highly-critical test parts through bracing test
f permeation test
Here a test method is concerned for the determination of the hydrogen occurring and diffusing in
chemical-electroplating processes.
f the permissible pickling duration is limited to 5 minutes
Coating
Deposited coatings of zinc and zinc alloys have to be permeable for absorbed hydrogen. Thickness and
structure of the coating have to be selected so that absorbed hydrogen can escape through the coat
during the subsequent heat treatment. The coating structure depends mainly on the electrolytes used and
the coating parameters.
Observe the following conditions when coating:
f For coatings of high-strength steel parts with a tensile strength higher than 1450 MPa it has to be
certified that the electrolytes used for the coating are permeable for hydrogen during the subsequent
heat treatment. Suitable methods are for example:
f testing the coating on highly critical sample parts with heat treatment and bracing test
f permeation test
f The coating thickness over the entire sample surface must average out at maximum 16 m.

Heat treatment
Heat treatment is required in order to reduce the hydrogen absorbed during a pickling and/or electrolytical
treatment to an uncritical degree.
Observe the following conditions for heat treatment:
f duration between pickling and/or electrolytical treatment and beginning of heat treatment:
4h
f heat treatment conditions in accordance with Table 2.
After heat treatment, the zinc or zinc alloys deposits must not show any bubbles or spangles.
Secondary treatment
Secondary treatments are chemically produced conversion coatings, sealings and lubricating coatings.
Observe the following conditions for secondary treatment:
f High-strength steel parts are subject to secondary treatment after heat treatment. Exceptions from this
sequence are permissible if requirements and properties of the respective type (see section 4) are met.
f The heat-treated zinc or zinc alloy coating must not be subject to any other cathodic treatment, e.g.
secondary zinc-plating.
Rework
Rework means removing and reapplying the coating of zinc or zinc alloy.
Observe the following conditions for rework:
f brittled batches must not be reworked, batches are considered brittled if:
f cracks or precracks occurred during bracing test
f the treatment was not performed in accordance with this section
f only one-time rework is permissible
f when removing coatings of zinc or zinc alloy, the process conditions in accordance with this section
apply
f for heat treatment after coating the 1,5-fold duration of time in accordance with Table 2 applies
f identify reworked batches accordingly
f perform the bracing test in accordance with the Bosch-Norm N42AP 926 before and after rework
