— ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
commercial
intended for general fabricating purposes where sheet is used in the flat condition, or for bending or
moderate forming
3.2
drawing
intended for parts where drawing or severe forming may be involved
© ISO 2016 – All rights reserved 1
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 3575:2016(E)
3.3
deep drawing
intended for parts where severe forming or severe drawing may be involved
3.4
deep drawing aluminium killed
intended for fabricating parts where particularly severe drawing or forming may be involved
3.5
extra deep drawing stabilized
intended for applications where maximum formability is required by applying interstitial free steel
3.6
interstitial free steel
IF
extra-low-carbon steel in which all interstitial elements are stabilized with titanium and/or equivalent
elements
Note 1 to entry: Interstitial free steel is sometimes referred to as stabilized steel.
3.7
ageing
change in steel properties with the passage of time
Note 1 to entry: Ageing can result in a change in yield strength and a corresponding decrease in ductility
during storage. Ageing always has a negative effect on formability. The redevelopment of a definite yield point
phenomenon as a result of ageing can result in a renewed susceptibility to surface imperfections, such as
stretcher strain marks (Lüder’s Lines) and fluting when the steel is formed. To avoid these adverse outcomes, it
is essential that the period between final processing at the producing mill and fabrication be kept to a minimum.
Rotation of stock, by using the oldest material first, is important. Effective roller levelling immediately prior to
fabrication can achieve reasonable freedom from stretcher strain marks.
3.8
continuous hot-dip zinc-coated steel sheet
steel sheet product in coils or cut lengths manufactured on a continuous coating line with a hot-dip zinc
coating on base metal of cold-reduced or hot-rolled descaled steel
3.9
continuous hot-dip zinc-iron alloy coated steel sheet
steel sheet product obtained by processing continuous hot-dip zinc-coated steel sheet to form a zinc-
iron alloy coating
Note 1 to entry: This product, designated ZF, is not spangled, is normally dull in appearance and, for some
applications, can be suitable for immediate painting without further treatment, except normal cleaning. Zinc-
iron alloy coatings can powder during severe forming.
3.10
differential coating
coating deliberately produced to have a different coating mass on each surface
3.11
breakage allowance
agreed upon level of acceptable die breakage not subject to claim
3.12
normal spangle
coating formed 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 coating, with skin pass) or N (normal coating, as coated); however, it
can be variable in appearance and not suitable for decorative painting.

3.13
smooth finish
smoothness produced by skin-passing the coated material in order to achieve an improved surface
condition as compared with the normal as-coated product
3.14
skin pass
light cold rolling of the product
Note 1 to entry: The purpose of the skin passing is one or more of the following: to minimize the appearance of
coil breaks, stretcher strains and fluting; to control the shape; to obtain the required surface finish.
Note 2 to entry: Some increase in hardness and some loss in ductility will result from skin passing.
3.15
lot
up to a specified quantity of steel sheet of the same designation rolled to the same thickness and coating
condition
3.16
coating mass
total amount of coating on both sides of the sheet, expressed in grams per square metre
4 Dimensions
4.1 Zinc-coated and zinc-iron alloy-coated steel sheet is produced in thicknesses from 0,25 mm to 5 mm
inclusive after coating, and in widths of 600 mm and over in coils and cut lengths. Zinc-coated and zinc-
iron alloy-coated steel sheet less than 600 mm wide, slit from wide sheet, will be considered as sheet.
4.2 The thickness of zinc-coated and zinc-iron alloy-coated steel sheet may be specified as a
combination of the base metal and metallic coating, or as the base metal alone. The purchaser shall
indicate on the order which method of specifying thickness is required. In the event that the purchaser
does not indicate any preference, the thickness as a combination of the base metal and coating will be
provided. Annex A describes the requirements for specifying the thickness of the 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 and zinc-iron alloy-coated steel sheet are left to the discretion of the
manufacturer. On 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 and 2.
5.3 Chemical analysis
5.3.1 Heat analysis
An analysis of each heat shall be made by the manufacturer in order to determine compliance with
the requirements given in Tables 1 and 2. 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 and
2 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%”.

3.4
deep drawing aluminum killed
intended for fabricating parts where particularly severe drawing or forming may be involved
3.5
extra deep drawing stabilized
intended for applications where maximum formability is required by applying interstitial free steel
3.6
interstitial free steel (IF)
extra-low-carbon steel in which all interstitial elements are stabilized with titanium and/or
equivalent elements
Note 1 to entry: to entry Interstitial free steel is sometimes referred to as stabilized steel.
3.7
ageing
change in steel properties with the passage of time
Note 1 to entry: to entry Ageing may result in a change in yield strength and a corresponding decrease in ductility
during storage. Ageing always has a negative effect on formability. The redevelopment of a definite yield point
phenomenon as a result of ageing can result in a renewed susceptibility to surface imperfections, such as stretcher
strain marks (Lüder’s Lines) and fluting when the steel is formed. To avoid these adverse outcomes, it is essential
that the period between final processing at the producing mill and fabrication be kept to a minimum. Rotation of
stock, by using the oldest material first, is important. Effective roller leveling immediately prior to fabrication can
achieve reasonable freedom from stretcher strain marks.
3.8
continuous hot-dip zinc-coated steel sheet
steel sheet product in coils or cut lengths manufactured on a continuous coating line with a hot-dip zinc
coating on base metal of cold-reduced or hot-rolled descaled steel
3.9
continuous hot-dip zinc-iron alloy coated steel sheet
steel sheet product obtained by processing continuous hot-dip zinc-coated steel sheet to form a zinc-iron
alloy coating
Note 1 to entry: to entry This product, designated ZF is not spangled, is normally dull in appearance and, for some
applications, may be suitable for immediate painting without further treatment, except normal cleaning. Zinc-
iron alloy coatings may powder during severe forming.
3.10
differential coating
coating deliberately produced to have a different coating mass on each surface
3.11
breakage allowance
agreed upon level of acceptable die breakage not subject to claim
3.12
normal spangle
coating formed as a result of unrestricted growth of zinc crystals during normal solidification
Note 1 to entry: to entry This coating has a metallic lustre and is the type normally furnished for a wide variety
of applications. It may be furnished S (normal coating, with skin pass) or N (normal coating, as coated); however,
it may be variable in appearance and not suitable for decorative painting.
3.13
smooth finish
smoothness produced by skin-passing the coated material in order to achieve an improved surface
condition as compared with the normal as-coated product

3.14
skin pass
light cold rolling of the product
Note 1 to entry: to entry The purpose of the skin passing is one or more of the following: to minimize the
appearance of coil breaks, stretcher strains and fluting; to control the shape; to obtain the required surface finish.
Note 2 to entry: to entry Some increase in hardness and some loss in ductility will result from skin passing.
3.15
lot
50 t or less of steel sheet of the same grade rolled to the same thickness and coating condition
4 Dimensions
4.1 Zinc-coated and zinc-iron alloy-coated steel sheet is produced in thicknesses from 0,25 mm to
5 mm inclusive after coating, and in widths of 600 mm and over in coils and cut lengths. Zinc-coated and
zinc-iron alloy-coated steel sheet less than 600 mm wide, slit from wide sheet, will be considered as sheet.
4.2 The thickness of zinc-coated and zinc-iron alloy-coated steel sheet may be specified as a combination
of the base metal and metallic coating, or as the base metal alone. The purchaser shall indicate on the
order which method of specifying thickness is required. In the event that the purchaser does not indicate
any preference, the thickness as a combination of the base metal and coating will be provided. Annex A
describes the requirements for specifying the thickness of the 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 and zinc-iron alloy-coated steel sheet are left to the discretion of the
manufacturer. On 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 and 2.
5.3 Chemical analysis
5.3.1 Heat analysis
An analysis of each heat shall be made by the manufacturer in order to determine compliance with the
requirements given in Tables 1 and 2. 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 and 2 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 2 and 3.
