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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

exposed. The hot dip galvanized article can be further protected by application of additional coatings
(outside the scope of this part of ISO 14713), 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 (e.g. for hot dip galvanized coatings on tubes or fasteners, etc.)
will take precedence over these general recommendations.
This standard does not apply to hot dip galvanized coatings applied to continuous sheet (e.g. to
EN 10346).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 8044 and the following apply.
3.1
hot dip galvanizing
formation of a coating of zinc and/or zinc/iron alloys on iron and steel products by dipping prepared
steel or cast irons in the zinc melt
3.2
hot dip galvanized coating
coating obtained by hot dip galvanizing
Note 1 to entry: The term “hot dip galvanized coating” is subsequently referred to as the “coating”.
4 Design for hot dip galvanizing
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. 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 may cause deformation or damage of 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 hot dip galvanizer before designing or making a product that is subsequently to be hot dip
galvanized, as it may 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 6.2).
Graphite exposed at the surface of iron castings interferes with wetting by molten metal and those
castings that have been annealed may have silica particles in the surface layers which have to be
removed in order to obtain a good-quality hot dipped 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 has to be 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 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 may 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 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 may adhere poorly, may look unattractive
and is wasteful.
Suitable articles, e.g. heat exchangers and gas cylinders, may 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 may be unavoidable within hollow sections and, for certain shapes and
designs cannot be removed.
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 may 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.
The provision of holes for venting and draining tubular fabrications also allows a coating to be
formed on the inside surfaces and therefore ensures better protection for the article. Occasionally, at
sufficiently high levels of residual stress in the article, stress relief may 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 and differential thermal expansion
should be minimized during welding and processing. Heat treatment may be desirable before hot
dip galvanizing. The purchaser should discuss with the galvanizer the requirements for coating and
assembly of fabricated articles. Compact sub-assemblies (which occupy minimum bath space) are 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 which 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 may 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 shall be
agreed in advance with the galvanizer and the customer shall ensure that:
(1) the holes are of maximum possible size;
(2) provision for internal venting is adequately documented (e.g., by photography) before assembly.
4.5 Tolerances
The thickness of the hot dip 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 hot dip galvanized 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.
Such measures might 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
may lead to water retention within the articles and subsequent wet-storage staining.
In accordance with ISO 1461, the presence of wet-storage staining shall not be 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 according to 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), fastener grade steels (see e.g. ISO 898),
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.
6.1.1 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.
6.1.2 Castings
Castings should be as free as possible from surface porosity and shrinkage holes and should be cleaned
by grit blasting, electrolytic pickling or by other methods especially suitable for castings. Conventional
hydrochloric acid pickling does not remove mould-sand deposits, graphite or temper carbon from
the surface of cast iron. Grit blasting is necessary to remove these contaminants. Surface cleaning of
complex shapes can be undertaken by specialist galvanizing companies using hydrofluoric acid. Care
needs to be exercised in the design of cast-iron sections. Small castings of simple shape and solid cross-
section do not present problems for galvanizing, provided that the material and surface condition are
suitable. Larger castings should have a balanced design with uniform section thicknesses to avoid
distortion and cracking due to thermal stress. Large fillet radii and pattern numbers should be used
and sharp corners and deep recesses avoided.

The rough surface finish which castings tend to possess may result in thicker galvanized coatings than
on rolled articles.
NOTE Castings can take several forms:
— grey iron castings: grey iron has a carbon content of greater than 2 %, the majority of which is graphite in
flake form;
— spheroidal graphite (SG) castings: similar to grey iron in many aspects of composition but with carbon
present primarily as graphite in spheroidal form, initiated by additions of magnesium or cerium;
— malleable iron castings: black-heart, white-heart and pearlitic. The toughness and workability are derived
from annealing processes and no primary graphite is permissible.

NOTE 1  Steels with compositions satisfying the formula Si ≤ 0,03% and Si + 2,5P ≤ 0,09 % are also expected to exhibit
these characteristics. For cold rolled steels, these characteristics are expected to be observed when the steel composition
satisfies the formula Si + 2,5P ≤ 0,04 %.
NOTE 2  The presence of alloying elements (e.g. nickel or aluminium) in the zinc melt can have a significant effect on
the coating characteristics indicated in this table. This table does not provide relevant guidance for high-temperature
galvanizing (i.e., immersion in molten zinc at 530 °C to 560 °C).
NOTE 3  The steel compositions indicated in this table will vary under the influence of other factors (e.g., hot rolling) and
the boundaries of each range will vary accordingly.
NOTE 4  Steels with compositions < 0,01 % silicon that also have aluminium contents > 0,035 % can exhibit lower reactivity
that could result in a lower than expected coating thickness. These steels might exhibit reduced levels of coating cohesion.
NOTE 5  The design of the article to be galvanized may also influence coating characteristics.

6.2 Surface condition
The surface of the basis metal should be clean before dipping into the molten zinc. Degreasing and
pickling in acid are the recommended methods of cleaning the surface. Excessive pickling should be
avoided. Surface contamination that cannot be removed by pickling, e.g. carbon films (such as rolling oil
residues)
