Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15211:2012), which has been technically
revised.

1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for steel sheet, in coils and cut length, metallic-coated by the

The product is intended for applications requiring corrosion resistance, and paintability.
The steel sheet is produced in a number of grades, coating masses, surface treatments and ordering
conditions.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
continuous hot-dip zinc-coated steel sheet
product obtained by hot-dip coating of cold-reduced sheet coils or hot-rolled descaled sheet coils on a
continuous zinc-coating line
3.2
normal spangle
finish obtained as a result of unrestricted growth of zinc crystals during normal solidification
Note 1 to entry: This coating has a metallic lustre and is the type normally furnished for a wide variety of
applications. It can be furnished S (normal spangle with skin pass) or N (normal spangle, no skin pass), however,
it can be variable in appearance and not suitable for decorative paintings.
3.3
minimized spangle
finish obtained by restricting normal spangle formation during the solidification of the zinc
Note 1 to entry: This product can have some lack of uniformity in surface appearance within a coil or from coil to
coil.
3.4
differential coating
coating deliberately produced to have a different coating mass on each surface
3.5
skin pass
light cold rolling of the product
Note 1 to entry: The purpose of skin passing is one or more of the following: to minimize the appearance of coil
breaks, stretcher strains and fluting; to control the shape or to obtain the required surface finish.
Note 2 to entry: Some increase in hardness and some loss in ductility will result from skin passing.
3.6
twin-roll cast steel sheet
steel sheet produced by casting to near final thickness directly from the liquid metal with minimal hot
rolling to achieve the final thickness
3.7
lot
up to a specified quantity of steel sheet of the same designation rolled to the same thickness and coating
condition
3.8
coating mass
total amount of zinc on both surfaces of the sheet, expressed in grams per square meter (g/m ) of sheet
4 Dimensions
Zinc-coated structural and high strength quality twin-roll cast steel sheet is produced in thicknesses
up to 2,0 mm, inclusive, after zinc coating, and in widths up to 2 000 mm in coils and cut lengths. Zinc-
coated twin-roll cast steel sheet less than 600 mm wide, slit from wide sheet, is considered as sheet.
The thickness of zinc-coated twin-roll cast steel sheet may be specified as a combination of the base-
metal and metallic coating or base-metal alone. The purchaser shall indicate on the order which method
of specifying thickness is required. If the purchaser does not indicate any preference, the thickness as
a combination of the base-metal and coating shall be provided. Annex A describes the requirements for
specifying the thickness as base-metal alone.
5 Conditions of manufacture
5.1 Steelmaking
Unless otherwise agreed by the interested parties, the processes used in making the steel and in
manufacturing zinc-coated steel sheet are left to the discretion of the manufacturer. Upon request, the
purchaser shall be informed of the steelmaking process being used.
5.2 Chemical composition
The chemical composition (heat analysis) shall conform to the requirements given in Tables 1, 2 and 3.
5.3 Chemical analysis
5.3.1 Heat analysis
An analysis of each heat shall be made by the manufacturer in order to determine conformity with
the requirements given in Tables 1, 2 and 3. On request, a report of the heat analysis shall be made
available to the purchaser or the purchaser’s representative. Each of the elements listed in Tables 1, 2
and 3 shall be included in the report of the heat analysis. When the amount of copper, nickel, chromium
or molybdenum present is less than 0,02 %, the analysis may be reported as “<0,02 %”.
5.3.2 Product analysis
A product analysis may be made by the purchaser in order to verify the specified analysis of the product
and shall take into consideration any normal heterogeneity. The product analysis tolerances shall be in
accordance with Tables 3 and 4.

For each reduction of 0,01 % below the specified carbon maximum, an increase of 0,06 % manganese above the
specified maximum shall be permitted up to a maximum of 1,50 %.
c
The purchaser has the option of restricting the nitrogen content. It should be noted that, depending on the microalloying
scheme (for example use of vanadium) of the producer, nitrogen is permitted as a deliberate addition. Consideration should
be given to the use of nitrogen-binding elements (for example vanadium and titanium).
d
The producer shall add at least one or more of the elements V, Ti or Nb.
