SI. Base Metal Thickness Sl.1 The specified minimum thickness shall apply to the base metal only. S1.2 The coating designation shown on the order indicates the coating to be applied to the specified minimum base metal thickness. 1.3 The applicable tolerances for base metal thickness are shown in Tables 16 and Tables 17, Thickness Tolerance of Cold-Rolled Sheet (Carbon and High-Strength, Low-Alloy Steel), of Specification A 568/8 568M. ANNEX (Mandatory Information) Al.L Determination of Bake Hardening Index AJ.1.1 The bake hardening index (BHI) is determined by a two-step procedure using a standard longitudinal (rolling direction) tensile-test specimen, prepared in accordance with Test Methods 370. The test specimen is first strained in tension. The magnitude of this tensile “pre-strain” shall be 2 Stress Pre-strain After baking (extension under load), The test specimen is then removed from the test machine and baked at a temperature of 340°F [170°C} for a period of 20 minutes. Referring to Fig. AI-1. the ‘bake hardening index (BHD of the material is calculated as follows: Ba aa any BHly Flow stress at 2% strain Strain FIG, At.1 Representation of Bake Hardening Index Copyright by ASTM Int!

ALLL3 The pre-straining of 2.% in tension is intended to simulate a modest degree of forming strain, while the subse quent baking is intended to simolate a paint-curing or similar treatment, In the production of actual parts, forming strains and baking teatments can differ from those employed here and, as a result, final properties can differ from the values obtained under these controlled conditions.

The previous “quality” designations have ‘been replaced with designations and descriptions more closely related with product characteristics. Many of the former “quality” specifications described the steel only in terms of limited chemical composition, which in some cases was identical for two or more qualities. The former designations also did not reflect the availability of new steels which are the result of the use of new technologies such as vacuum degassing, and steel ladle treatments X22. The former “quality” designators, defined in very broad qualitative terms, did not provide the user with all the information needed to select the appropriate steel for an ‘application, The new designations are defined with technical information such as specific chemical composition limits and \ypical nonmandatory mechanical properties. These stee! char: acleristies are imporiant to users concerned with the weldabil- ity and formability of the coated steel products. The typical ‘mechanical properties included in the new designation system are those indicated by the tension test. These properties are ‘more predictive of steel formability than other tests such as the hardness test which may not compensate adequately for product variables such as substrate thickness and coating weight X23. The new designations also provide the user with the flexibility 10 restrict the steels applied on any order. For ‘example, a user can restrict the application of ultra low carbon steels on an application through the selection of an appropriate “type” designator. X2.4 There isa limited relationship between the former and ceurrent systems of designation. Some of the reasons for this limited relationship are: addition of steels not previously described in ASTM specifications, restrictions placed on ranges of chemical composition, the addition of typical me- chanical properties, and the enhanced capability of steel producers to combine chemical composition and processing ‘methods to achieve properties tailored to specific applications, X25 The changes in designation are significant which may create transition issues that will have to be resolved. Continued dialogue between users and producers will have to be main- tained to assist with the transition to the new system of designations. A user with concerns about the appropriate coated stee! to order for a specific application should consult ‘with a steel supplier oF producer. X3, RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPECIFICATIONS THAT DESCRIBE REQUIREMENTS FOR A COMMON PRODUCT X3.1 150.3575 and 180 4998 may be reviewed for com- parison with this standard. The relationship between the \dards may only be approximate: therefore, the respective ‘documents should be consulted for actual requirements. Those ‘who use these documents must determine which specifications address their needs. X4, COATING MASS SELECTION BASED ON ATMOSPHERIC CORROSION RATES' FOR ZINC-COATED STEEL SHEET X4.1_ ‘The proper selection of coating mass to meet a user's needs for zinc-couted stecl sheet requires some knowledge about the relative corrosiveness of the environment in which, tho product will be used. The corrosion rate of the zine coating, varies widely depending upon many factors of the environ: ‘mont, For example, the time of wetness is an important issue that affects the corrosion rate. The presence of impurities such, as chlorides, nitrates, and sulfates can also dramatically affect, the rite of corrosion. Other issues such as the presence or absence of oxygen and the temperature of the environment are ‘important determinants for predicting the “life of the product.” X4.2_ The final performance requirements can also impact the minimum coating mass needed for a given application. For ‘example, is the application an aesthetic one that requires no red ust. In tis ease, the time to failure is thus defined as the time Copyright by ASTM Intl (llrightsreserved); for the onset of red rust (the time for the zine coating to be consumed in a large enough area for rusting of the steel to be observed). Or, is the application one in which the time to failure is defined as the time when perforation ofthe steel sheet is observed? In this case, the thickness ofthe steel sheet as well as the thickness of the zine coating impact the time to faiture X43 No matter how one defines the “produet life.” there are data in the published literature to assist users once the environment and desired product life are determined. X4.4 Although the corrosion rate can vary considerably epending on the environmental factors, itis well known that, jn most instances, the life of the zine coating is a linear function of coating mass for any specific environment. That means, to achieve twice the life for any specific application, the user should order twiee the coating mass. X44.) Examples:fly A 653/8 653M - 06 X4.4.1.1 A G60 coating mass will exhibit approximately twice the life of a G30 coating mass. X4.4.1.2 A G90 coating mass will exhibit about 50% longer life than a G60 coating mass. X45 The following two reference books are excellent sources for additional and more detailed information on the corrosion behavior of zine-coated steel sheet products: X4.5.1 Corrosion and Electrochemistry of Zinc, X.
