Corrosion protection of metals - Non-electrolytically applied zinc flake coatings on iron or steel components

This European Standard specifies requirements for non-electrolytically applied coatings, composed mainly of zinc flakes, for protection against corrosion of steel components, excluding threaded fasteners. These coatings may also be provided with integral lubricant if needed.
NOTE 1  Requirements for threaded fasteners are given in EN ISO 10683.
The temperature and duration of curing the coating can influence the mechanical properties of components because of their change of metallurgical conditions. These coatings should not be applied to components that can be used at temperatures higher than the curing temperature, unless specifically ordered.
NOTE 2   If aluminium flakes, when added to zinc flake dispersion, form a continuous bond, a high risk of hydrogen embrittlement for steels of tensile strength over 1 800 MPa may exist because of the sacrificial action of the coating during corrosion reactions in storage and/or in service.

Korrosionsschutz von Metallen - Nicht elektrolytisch aufgebrachte schuppenförmige Zinküberzüge auf Werkstücken aus Eisen oder Stahl

Protection des métaux contre la corrosion - Revêtements non électrolytiques de lamelles de zinc sur des composants en fer ou en acier

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives aux revêtements non électrolytiques composés principalement de lamelles de zinc, destinés à la protection des composants en acier contre la corrosion, à l’exclusion des éléments de fixation filetés. Ces revêtements peuvent également être fournis avec un lubrifiant intégré si nécessaire.
NOTE 1   Les exigences relatives aux éléments de fixation filetés sont spécifiées dans l’EN ISO 10683.
La température et la durée de cuisson du revêtement peuvent avoir une incidence sur les propriétés mécaniques des composants en raison du changement d’état métallurgique de ceux-ci. Sauf spécification contraire, il convient que ces revêtements ne soient pas appliqués sur des composants pouvant être utilisés à des températures plus élevées que la température de cuisson.
NOTE 2   Si les lamelles d’aluminium, lorsqu’elles sont ajoutées à la dispersion des lamelles de zinc, forment une liaison continue, il peut y avoir un risque important de fragilisation par l’hydrogène des aciers dont la résistance à la traction est supérieure à 1 800 MPa, en raison de l’action sacrificielle du revêtement pendant le processus de corrosion au stockage et/ou en service.

Mechanical cleaning methods of the metal surfaces are preferred for steels parts having a tensile strength of 1 000 MPa and greater (Rm ≥ 1 000 MPa) to avoid the risk of hydrogen embrittlement.
If acid chemical cleaning methods are used, stress relief heat treatment is required for high strength steels (Rm ≥ 1 000 MPa) if they contain tensile stresses (see Clause 6.1.2). Zinc protects steel by galvanic action, i.e. sacrificial action takes place to protect steel when it is in close contact with the steel, and after weathering, zinc oxides are formed on the coating surface. These oxides are voluminous and plug the pores in the coating to provide barrier protection. Apart from cathodic corrosion protection, the zinc flakes also provide barrier properties due to the platelet structures. Artificial atmosphere corrosion tests of these coatings can provide some measure of guidance for corrosion protection. However, the duration and results of accelerated corrosion tests, such as the neutral salt spray test, have no direct relation to the corrosion protection in other environments. WARNING —This European Standard calls for the use of substances and/or procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate safety measures are not taken. This European Standard does not address any health hazards, safety matters or environmental conditions associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this European Standard to establish appropriate health and safety practices and take suitable actions for any national and International regulations.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for non-electrolytically applied coatings, composed mainly of zinc flakes, for protection against corrosion of steel components, excluding threaded fasteners. These coatings may also be provided with integral lubricant if needed. NOTE 1
Requirements for threaded fasteners are given in EN ISO 10683. The temperature and duration of curing the coating can influence the mechanical properties of components because of their change of metallurgical conditions. These coatings should not be applied to components that can be used at temperatures higher than the curing temperature, unless specifically ordered. NOTE 2 If aluminium flakes, when added to zinc flake dispersion, form a continuous bond, a high risk of hydrogen embrittlement for steels of tensile strength over 1 800 MPa may exist because of the sacrificial action of the coating during corrosion reactions in storage and/or in service.
