1. Seape
1.1 This specification covers the requitements for a coating
of zine mechanically deposited on iron and stoe basis metals
‘The coating is provided in several thicknesses up to and
including 107 um. ‘The seven thickest classes are usually
referred to 48 “mechatically galvanized.”
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with ity use. It Is the
responsiblity af the user of this standard to establish appro
priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-
bility of regulatory limitations prior to use
‘ors 1—The performanes ofthe coating complies with the requis
men of Spiel A LSWA 153M and MOL-C81502,
1.3 The values stated jn SI units are to be regarded as the
dard. The inch-pound equivelents of St units are given for
rational purposes,

5.1 The costing shull be uniform in appearance and free of
blisters, pis, nodules, flaking, and other defects tit wre
capable of adversely affecting the function ofthe coating. The
coating shall cover all surfaces as stated in 6.3 including roots,
of threads, thread peaks, corners, recesses, and edges. The
outing shall not be stained oF discolored throughout to am
extent capable of adverscly affecting appearance as a func-
tional requirement, However, auperical staining, that results
from ringing or drying, and variations in color of luster shall
not be eause for ecjestion,

62.1 Stress-Rellef Troatment—All steel parts that have an
ultimate tensile strengel of 1000 MPs and above and that
contain tensile stresses caused by machining, grinding,
struightening, or cold-forring operation shall be given a
ssressrclif heat treatment prior to cleaning and metal deposi

18°C for n minimum of 3 h so that maxinum stress relief is
obtained swithout reducing the hardness below the specified

charged with hydrogen) and that have heavy oxide or seale
