Introduction

The protection afforded by the hot dip galvanized 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 hot dip galvanized article can be further protected by the application of additional

coatings (outside the scope of this document), such as organic coatings (paints or powder coatings).

When applied to hot dip galvanized articles, this combination of coatings is often known as a “duplex

system”.

Specific product-related requirements, for which specific standards could exist (e.g. for hot dip

galvanized coatings on tubes or fasteners), take precedence over these general recommendations.

ISO 14713-2:2019(E)
4 Design for hot dip galvanizing
4.1 General

It is essential that the design of any article required to be galvanized should take into account not

only the function of the article and its method of manufacture, but also the limitations imposed by the

finish. Annex A illustrates some of the important design features, some of which are specific to hot dip

galvanizing.

Some internal stresses in the articles to be galvanized will be relieved during the hot dip galvanizing

process and this can cause deformation or damage to the coated article. These internal stresses arise

from the finishing operations at the fabrication stage, such as cold forming, welding, oxy-cutting or

drilling, and from the residual stresses inherited from the rolling mill.

The purchaser should seek the advice of the galvanizer before designing or making a product that is

subsequently to be hot dip galvanized, as it can be necessary to adapt the construction of the article for

the hot dip galvanizing process.
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 (see 6.4).

Graphite exposed at the surface of iron castings interferes with wetting by molten metal and those

castings that have been annealed can have silica particles in the surface layers that have to be removed

in order to obtain a good-quality coating. Grit blasting is recommended both before and after annealing.

4.3 Procedures related to design considerations

The hot dip bath and associated plant should be of adequate capacity to process the articles to be hot dip

coated with zinc. Preferably, articles should be designed to enable coating in a single dipping operation.

Articles that are too large for the available baths may be partially immersed and then reversed for

length or depth, so that a complete coating is obtained. Partial immersion (and then dipping for a second

time to complete the coating) is less common than the single, complete immersion operation.

All work is secured during immersion in the baths. Arrangements for lifting and handling should be

made before articles are delivered to the galvanizer. When necessary, the customer should consult

the galvanizer and advise of any limitations (e.g. on the use of existing holes). Lifting lugs are often

incorporated to assist general handling.

Articles may be held in racks or jigs. Some contact marks can be visible after hot dip galvanizing in such

cases. The dipping operation involves vertical movement out of the bath, but the parts being withdrawn

may be inclined at an angle.

The processing sequence requires the circulation of air, pretreatment liquids and zinc to all surfaces

of the article. Air pockets prevent local surface preparation and give uncoated surfaces. Liquids in

enclosed air vaporize at the hot dip galvanizing temperature of about 450 °C and the force generated

can cause buckling or explosions. Excess zinc can adhere poorly, can look unattractive and is wasteful.

Suitable articles, e.g. heat exchangers and gas cylinders, can, if required, be hot dip galvanized on the

outside only. This involves special techniques and equipment (e.g. to push the article into the bath

against the buoyancy of the molten zinc) and a specialist galvanizer should be consulted in advance.

Hot dip galvanizing of hollow sections ensures protection of both internal and external surfaces. Small

amounts of trapped zinc ash can be unavoidable within hollow sections and, for certain shapes and

designs, cannot be removed.

ISO 14713-2:2019(E)
4.4 Design features

Preferred design features for articles to be hot dip galvanized are shown in Annex A.

WARNING — It is essential that sealed compartments be avoided or be vented, otherwise there

is a serious risk of explosion that could cause serious injury to operators. This aspect of design

shall be given careful consideration and is essential in order to maintain satisfactory standards

of health and safety for operators.

In addition to provision for venting and draining of tubular fabrications, holes also allow a coating to

be formed on the inside surfaces and therefore ensure better protection for the article. Occasionally, at

sufficiently high levels of residual stress in the article, stress relief can occur at the hot dip galvanizing

temperature. This is one of the main causes of unexpected distortion or cracking of the steel article.

Symmetrical sections are preferred and, as far as possible, large variations in thickness or cross-section,

e.g. thin sheet welded to thick angles, should be avoided. Welding and fabrication techniques should be

chosen to minimize the introduction of unbalanced stresses. Differential thermal expansion should be

minimized during welding and processing. Heat treatment can be desirable before hot dip galvanizing.

The purchaser should discuss with the galvanizer the requirements for coating and assembly of

fabricated articles before galvanizing. Compact sub-assemblies (which occupy minimum bath space)

are the most economical to galvanize. Welding is preferable before hot dip galvanizing, to ensure a

continuous hot dip galvanized coating over the weld.

Articles should be designed so as to assist the access and drainage of molten metal and so that air locks

are avoided. A smooth profile, avoiding unnecessary edges and corners, assists hot dip galvanizing.

This, combined with bolting after galvanizing, improves long-term corrosion resistance.

Holes that are necessary in structures for the hot dip galvanizing process are preferably made before

assembly and by cutting or grinding off corners of sections; this facilitates the absence of “pockets” in

which excess molten zinc can solidify. When already assembled, burning could be the optimum method

of producing holes, as the space available for drilling may not allow the hole to be close enough to the

edge or corners.

Internal venting of hollow sections should be avoided. If internal venting is unavoidable, it should

be agreed in advance with the galvanizer [see also ISO 1461:2009, A.2, e)] and the customer should

ensure that:
a) the holes are of maximum possible size;

b) provision for internal venting is adequately documented (e.g. by photography) before assembly.

4.5 Tolerances

The thickness of the coating is determined mainly by the nature and thickness of the steel. On mating

surfaces and at holes, extra tolerance should be provided to allow for the thickness of the coating metal.

For coatings on flat surfaces, an allowance of at least 1 mm has been found satisfactory. See ISO 1461

for definitions of significant surfaces and acceptance criteria for the coating. For threaded work, for

example, for hot dip galvanized and centrifuged nuts and bolts, current practices differ according to the

country. See 7.1.
5 Design for storage and transport

Hot dip galvanized articles should be stacked securely so that the articles can be handled, stored and

transported safely.

Where there is a specific need to minimize the development of wet-storage staining (primarily basic

zinc oxide and zinc hydroxide, formed on the surface of the galvanized coating during storage of articles

in humid conditions), this should be communicated by the purchaser to the galvanizer at the time of

ordering and any relevant control measures should be agreed upon.
© ISO 2019 – All rights reserved 3
---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 14713-2:2020
ISO 14713-2:2019(E)

Such measures can include, for example, storage of articles such that free movement of air across the

surfaces of the article is allowed, the use of spacers to minimize contact areas on the work, chemical

post-treatment or avoidance of close nesting of work (where the design allows this). Shrink wrapping

can lead to water retention within the articles and subsequent wet-storage staining.

In accordance with ISO 1461, the presence of wet-storage staining is not a cause for rejection, provided

the coating thickness remains above the specified minimum requirements at the time of acceptance

inspection.
6 Effect of article condition on quality of hot dip galvanizing
6.1 General

Most steels can be hot dip galvanized in accordance with ISO 1461. This includes unalloyed carbon

steels (see, e.g., EN 10025-2), fine-grained steels (see, e.g., EN 10025-3 and EN 10025-4), quenched

and tempered steels, hollow sections that are hot finished (see, e.g., EN 10210-1), hollow sections that

are cold finished (see, e.g., EN 10219-1), reinforcement steels (see, e.g., EN 10080 and EN 10348-2),

fastener grade steels [see, e.g., ISO 898 (all parts)], grey cast iron (see, e.g., EN 1561) and malleable cast

iron (see, e.g., EN 1562). Where other ferrous metals are to be galvanized, adequate information or

samples should be provided by the purchaser for the galvanizer to decide whether these steels can be

satisfactorily galvanized. Sulfur-containing free-cutting steels are normally unsuitable. Stainless steels

are unsuitable.
6.2 Material composition

Certain elements, in particular silicon (Si) and phosphorus (P), in the steel surface can affect hot

dip galvanizing by prolonging the reaction between iron and molten zinc. Therefore, certain steel

compositions can achieve more consistent coatings with regard to appearance, thickness and

smoothness. The prior history of the steel (e.g. whether hot rolled or cold rolled) can also affect its

reaction with molten zinc. Where aesthetics are important or where particular coating thickness

or surface smoothness criteria exist, specialist advice on steel selection should be sought prior to

fabrication of the article or hot dip galvanizing.

Table 1 gives simplified guidance on steel compositions that are associated with certain typical coating

characteristics when galvanizing is carried out at temperatures of 440 °C to 460 °C.

Introduction

The protection afforded by the hot dip galvanized 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 hot dip galvanized article can be further protected by the application of additional

coatings (outside the scope of this document), such as organic coatings (paints or powder coatings).

When applied to hot dip galvanized articles, this combination of coatings is often known as a “duplex

system”.

Specific product-related requirements, for which specific standards could exist (e.g. for hot dip

galvanized coatings on tubes or fasteners), take precedence over these general recommendations.

ISO 14713-2:2019(E)
4 Design for hot dip galvanizing
4.1 General

It is essential that the design of any article required to be galvanized should take into account not

only the function of the article and its method of manufacture, but also the limitations imposed by the

finish. Annex A illustrates some of the important design features, some of which are specific to hot dip

galvanizing.

Some internal stresses in the articles to be galvanized will be relieved during the hot dip galvanizing

process and this can cause deformation or damage to the coated article. These internal stresses arise

from the finishing operations at the fabrication stage, such as cold forming, welding, oxy-cutting or

drilling, and from the residual stresses inherited from the rolling mill.

The purchaser should seek the advice of the galvanizer before designing or making a product that is

subsequently to be hot dip galvanized, as it can be necessary to adapt the construction of the article for

the hot dip galvanizing process.
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 (see 6.4).

Graphite exposed at the surface of iron castings interferes with wetting by molten metal and those

castings that have been annealed can have silica particles in the surface layers that have to be removed

in order to obtain a good-quality coating. Grit blasting is recommended both before and after annealing.

4.3 Procedures related to design considerations

The hot dip bath and associated plant should be of adequate capacity to process the articles to be hot dip

coated with zinc. Preferably, articles should be designed to enable coating in a single dipping operation.

Articles that are too large for the available baths may be partially immersed and then reversed for

length or depth, so that a complete coating is obtained. Partial immersion (and then dipping for a second

time to complete the coating) is less common than the single, complete immersion operation.

All work is secured during immersion in the baths. Arrangements for lifting and handling should be

made before articles are delivered to the galvanizer. When necessary, the customer should consult

the galvanizer and advise of any limitations (e.g. on the use of existing holes). Lifting lugs are often

incorporated to assist general handling.

Articles may be held in racks or jigs. Some contact marks can be visible after hot dip galvanizing in such

cases. The dipping operation involves vertical movement out of the bath, but the parts being withdrawn

may be inclined at an angle.

The processing sequence requires the circulation of air, pretreatment liquids and zinc to all surfaces

of the article. Air pockets prevent local surface preparation and give uncoated surfaces. Liquids in

enclosed air vaporize at the hot dip galvanizing temperature of about 450 °C and the force generated

can cause buckling or explosions. Excess zinc can adhere poorly, can look unattractive and is wasteful.

Suitable articles, e.g. heat exchangers and gas cylinders, can, if required, be hot dip galvanized on the

outside only. This involves special techniques and equipment (e.g. to push the article into the bath

against the buoyancy of the molten zinc) and a specialist galvanizer should be consulted in advance.

Hot dip galvanizing of hollow sections ensures protection of both internal and external surfaces. Small

amounts of trapped zinc ash can be unavoidable within hollow sections and, for certain shapes and

designs, cannot be removed.

ISO 14713-2:2019(E)
4.4 Design features

Preferred design features for articles to be hot dip galvanized are shown in Annex A.

WARNING — It is essential that sealed compartments be avoided or be vented, otherwise there

is a serious risk of explosion that could cause serious injury to operators. This aspect of design

shall be given careful consideration and is essential in order to maintain satisfactory standards

of health and safety for operators.

In addition to provision for venting and draining of tubular fabrications, holes also allow a coating to

be formed on the inside surfaces and therefore ensure better protection for the article. Occasionally, at

sufficiently high levels of residual stress in the article, stress relief can occur at the hot dip galvanizing

temperature. This is one of the main causes of unexpected distortion or cracking of the steel article.

Symmetrical sections are preferred and, as far as possible, large variations in thickness or cross-section,

e.g. thin sheet welded to thick angles, should be avoided. Welding and fabrication techniques should be

chosen to minimize the introduction of unbalanced stresses. Differential thermal expansion should be

minimized during welding and processing. Heat treatment can be desirable before hot dip galvanizing.

The purchaser should discuss with the galvanizer the requirements for coating and assembly of

fabricated articles before galvanizing. Compact sub-assemblies (which occupy minimum bath space)

are the most economical to galvanize. Welding is preferable before hot dip galvanizing, to ensure a

continuous hot dip galvanized coating over the weld.

Articles should be designed so as to assist the access and drainage of molten metal and so that air locks

are avoided. A smooth profile, avoiding unnecessary edges and corners, assists hot dip galvanizing.

This, combined with bolting after galvanizing, improves long-term corrosion resistance.

Holes that are necessary in structures for the hot dip galvanizing process are preferably made before

assembly and by cutting or grinding off corners of sections; this facilitates the absence of “pockets” in

which excess molten zinc can solidify. When already assembled, burning could be the optimum method

of producing holes, as the space available for drilling may not allow the hole to be close enough to the

edge or corners.

Internal venting of hollow sections should be avoided. If internal venting is unavoidable, it should

be agreed in advance with the galvanizer [see also ISO 1461:2009, A.2, e)] and the customer should

ensure that:
a) the holes are of maximum possible size;

b) provision for internal venting is adequately documented (e.g. by photography) before assembly.

4.5 Tolerances

The thickness of the coating is determined mainly by the nature and thickness of the steel. On mating

surfaces and at holes, extra tolerance should be provided to allow for the thickness of the coating metal.

For coatings on flat surfaces, an allowance of at least 1 mm has been found satisfactory. See ISO 1461

for definitions of significant surfaces and acceptance criteria for the coating. For threaded work, for

example, for hot dip galvanized and centrifuged nuts and bolts, current practices differ according to the

country. See 7.1.
5 Design for storage and transport

Hot dip galvanized articles should be stacked securely so that the articles can be handled, stored and

transported safely.

Where there is a specific need to minimize the development of wet-storage staining (primarily basic

zinc oxide and zinc hydroxide, formed on the surface of the galvanized coating during storage of articles

in humid conditions), this should be communicated by the purchaser to the galvanizer at the time of

ordering and any relevant control measures should be agreed upon.
© ISO 2019 – All rights reserved 3
---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 14713-2:2020
ISO 14713-2:2019(E)

Such measures can include, for example, storage of articles such that free movement of air across the

surfaces of the article is allowed, the use of spacers to minimize contact areas on the work, chemical

post-treatment or avoidance of close nesting of work (where the design allows this). Shrink wrapping

can lead to water retention within the articles and subsequent wet-storage staining.

In accordance with ISO 1461, the presence of wet-storage staining is not a cause for rejection, provided

the coating thickness remains above the specified minimum requirements at the time of acceptance

inspection.
6 Effect of article condition on quality of hot dip galvanizing
6.1 General

Most steels can be hot dip galvanized in accordance with ISO 1461. This includes unalloyed carbon

steels (see, e.g., EN 10025-2), fine-grained steels (see, e.g., EN 10025-3 and EN 10025-4), quenched

and tempered steels, hollow sections that are hot finished (see, e.g., EN 10210-1), hollow sections that

are cold finished (see, e.g., EN 10219-1), reinforcement steels (see, e.g., EN 10080 and EN 10348-2),

fastener grade steels [see, e.g., ISO 898 (all parts)], grey cast iron (see, e.g., EN 1561) and malleable cast

iron (see, e.g., EN 1562). Where other ferrous metals are to be galvanized, adequate information or

samples should be provided by the purchaser for the galvanizer to decide whether these steels can be

satisfactorily galvanized. Sulfur-containing free-cutting steels are normally unsuitable. Stainless steels

are unsuitable.
6.2 Material composition

Certain elements, in particular silicon (Si) and phosphorus (P), in the steel surface can affect hot

dip galvanizing by prolonging the reaction between iron and molten zinc. Therefore, certain steel

compositions can achieve more consistent coatings with regard to appearance, thickness and

smoothness. The prior history of the steel (e.g. whether hot rolled or cold rolled) can also affect its

reaction with molten zinc. Where aesthetics are important or where particular coating thickness

or surface smoothness criteria exist, specialist advice on steel selection should be sought prior to

fabrication of the article or hot dip galvanizing.

Table 1 gives simplified guidance on steel compositions that are associated with certain typical coating

characteristics when galvanizing is carried out at temperatures of 440 °C to 460 °C.
