Zinc coatings - Guidelines and recommendations for the protection against corrosion of iron and steel in structures - Part 3: Sherardizing (ISO 14713-3:2017)

This document provides guidelines and recommendations regarding the general principles of design
that are appropriate for articles to be sherardized for corrosion protection.
The protection afforded by the sherardized coating to the article will depend upon the method of
application of the coating, the design of the article and the specific environment to which the article is
exposed. The sherardized article can be further protected by application of additional coatings (outside
the scope of this document), such as organic coatings (wet paints or powder coatings). When applied to
sherardized articles, this combination of coatings is often known as a “duplex system”.
General guidance on this subject can be found in ISO 12944-5 and EN 13438.
The maintenance of corrosion protection in service for steel with sherardized coatings is outside the
scope of this document.
Specific product-related requirements (e.g. for sherardized coatings on fasteners or tubes, etc.) will
take precedence over these general recommendations.

Zinküberzüge - Leitfäden und Empfehlungen zum Schutz von Eisen- und Stahlkonstruktionen vor Korrosion - Teil 3: Sherardisieren (ISO 14713-3:2017)

Dieses Dokument bietet Leitfäden und Empfehlungen für die allgemeinen Grundlagen einer geeigneten Gestaltung von Bauteilen, die zum Schutz gegen Korrosion einen Überzug durch Sherardisieren erhalten.
Der Schutz des Sherardisierungs Überzugs für das Bauteil hängt von dem zum Aufbringen des Überzugs angewendeten Verfahren, der Gestaltung des Bauteolss und der spezifischen Umgebung, dem das Bauteil ausgesetzt wird, ab. Das sherardisierte Bauteil kann durch das nachfolgende Aufbringen zusätzlicher Beschichtungen (die nicht in den Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokumentes fallen) geschützt werden, z. B. durch organische Beschichtungen (Nass Anstrichsysteme oder Pulverbeschichtungen). Bei Anwendung auf sherardisierten Bauteilen ist dieses kombinierte Beschichtungssystem häufig als „Duplex System“ bekannt.
Ein allgemeiner Leitfaden zu diesem Thema kann in ISO 12944 5 und in EN 13438 nachgelesen werden.
In diesem Dokument wird nicht die Instandsetzung des Korrosionsschutzes für Stahl mit Sherardi-sierungs Überzügen unter Einsatzbedingungen erfasst.
Anforderungen, die für ein bestimmtes Produkt gelten (z. B. für sherardisierte Überzüge auf Befestigungs-elementen oder Rohren usw.), haben eine höhere Priorität als die hier angegebenen allgemeinen Empfehlungen.

Revêtements de zinc - Lignes directrices et recommandations pour la protection contre la corrosion du fer et de l'acier dans les constructions - Partie 3: Shérardisation (ISO 14713-3:2017)

ISO 14713-3:2017fournit des lignes directrices et des recommandations concernant les principes généraux de conception appropriés pour les pièces à shérardiser pour leur protection contre la corrosion.
La protection assurée par le revêtement de shérardisation appliqué sur la pièce dépend de la méthode d'application du revêtement, de la conception de la pièce et de l'environnement spécifique auquel la pièce est exposée. La pièce shérardisée peut être encore plus protégée par l'application de revêtements supplémentaires (non couverts par le domaine d'application du présent document), tels que des revêtements organiques (peintures humides ou revêtements poudre). Lorsqu'elle est appliquée aux pièces shérardisées, cette combinaison de revêtements est souvent appelée «système duplex».
Des lignes directrices générales sur ce sujet sont données dans l'ISO 12944‑5 et l'EN 13438.
L'entretien de la protection contre la corrosion en service assurée pour l'acier par des revêtements shérardisés ne relève pas du domaine d'application du présent document.
Des exigences spécifiques relatives aux produits (par exemple pour les revêtements shérardisés sur les tubes et les éléments de fixation, etc.) prévalent sur les présentes recommandations générales.

Cinkove prevleke - Smernice in priporočila za zaščito železnih in jeklenih konstrukcij proti koroziji - 3. del: Šerardiranje (ISO 14713-3:2017)

Ta dokument določa smernice in priporočila glede splošnih načel za projektiranje, ki so primerna za izdelke, ki bodo šerardirani za zaščito proti koroziji.
Zaščita izdelka s šerardirano prevleko je odvisna od metode
nanosa prevleke, projektiranja izdelka in posebnih okoljskih dejavnikov, ki jim je izpostavljen izdelek. Šerardiran izdelek se lahko dodatno zaščiti z nanosom dodatnih prevlek (niso zajete v tem dokumentu), kot so organske prevleke (mokre barve ali praškaste prevleke). Kadar se ta kombinacija prevlek uporabi pri šerardiranih izdelkih, se pogosto imenuje »dvojni sistem«.
Splošne smernice so navedene v standardih ISO 12944-5 in EN 13438.
Vzdrževanje protikorozijske zaščite jekel s šerardiranimi prevlekami ni zajeto v tem dokumentu.
Zahteve, povezane s specifičnimi izdelki (npr. za šerardirane prevleke na pritrdilnih elementih ali ceveh itd.), imajo
prednost pred temi splošnimi priporočili.

Introduction
Sherardizing is a thermal diffusion process in which articles are heated in the presence of a sherardizing
mixture consisting of zinc dust with or without an inert material.
The process is carried out in a slowly rotating closed container at temperatures ranging from about
300 °C to 500 °C. The normal processing temperature is below the melting point of zinc (419 °C).
During the process, zinc/iron alloys are built up on the surface of the ferrous articles. A coating
thickness of 10 µm to 75 µm (and higher if required) can be achieved. The coating thickness is accurately
controlled by the amount of zinc dust, the processing time and temperature. The coating closely follows
the contours of the basis material, and uniform coatings are produced on articles, including those of
irregular shape.
After sherardizing, the containers are cooled down. A screening process separates the sherardized
articles from the unused sherardizing mixture. The articles, with the zinc/iron-alloyed layer, are
normally post-treated by phosphating, chromating or another suitable passivation process (conversion
coating) resulting in a dust-free and clean passivated surface.
Most steel and iron articles can be sherardized.

After sherardizing, the containers are cooled down. A screening process separates the sherardized
articles from the unused sherardizing mixture. The articles, with the zinc/iron-alloyed layer, are
normally post-treated by phosphating, chromating or another suitable passivation process (conversion
coating) resulting in a dust-free and clean passivated surface.
Most steel and iron articles can be sherardized.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 14713-3:2016(E)
Zinc coatings — Guidelines and recommendations for
the protection against corrosion of iron and steel in
structures —
Part 3:
Sherardizing
1 Scope
This document provides guidelines and recommendations regarding the general principles of design
that are appropriate for articles to be sherardized for corrosion protection.
The protection afforded by the sherardized coating to the article will depend upon the method of
application of the coating, the design of the article and the specific environment to which the article is
exposed. The sherardized article can be further protected by application of additional coatings (outside
the scope of this document), such as organic coatings (wet paints or powder coatings). When applied to
sherardized articles, this combination of coatings is often known as a “duplex system”.
General guidance on this subject can be found in ISO 12944-5 and EN 13438.
The maintenance of corrosion protection in service for steel with sherardized coatings is outside the
scope of this document.
Specific product-related requirements (e.g. for sherardized coatings on fasteners or tubes, etc.) will
take precedence over these general recommendations.

sherardized coating
coating consisting of zinc/iron alloys obtained by the sherardizing process, and normally post-treated
by phosphating, chromating or another suitable passivating process (conversion coating)
Note 1 to entry: “Sherardized coating” is referred to in this document as “coating”.
4 Design for sherardizing
4.1 General
It is essential that the design of any article required to be finished should take into account not only the
function of the article and its method of manufacture but also the limitations imposed by the finish.
Sherardizing is a process developed to protect components of various sizes, but mainly small articles,
against corrosion and wear. No jig marks are visible after sherardizing. Normal sherardizing equipment
has containers with nominal dimensions of 2 000 mm × 480 mm × 400 mm. Specialized equipment has
been developed to treat large tubes for the gas and oil industry and large articles of complex shape for
the automotive industry.
Some internal stresses in the articles to be sherardized will be relieved during the sherardizing process
and this may cause deformation of the coated article. Normally, the sherardizing is carried out between
320 °C and 419 °C.
The purchaser should seek the advice of the sherardizer before designing or manufacturing a product
that is subsequently to be sherardized, as it may be necessary to adapt the construction of the article
for the sherardizing process, especially when very fragile components are sent for sherardizing. These
components may be liable to damage and distortion during processing. The sherardizer may be able to
recommend a design modification.
4.2 Surface preparation
The design and the materials used should permit good surface preparation. This is essential for the
production of a high-quality coating. Sherardizing is only effective on surfaces free of oil, g
