5.3Spinning and Quenching :
5.3.1Parts shall be spun immediately following removal from the galvanizing bath and quenched in water.In addition,small parts shall be air cooled as needed in order to prevent the formation of zinc oxide.
5.3.2Parts,which cannot be spun shall be brushed or handled otherwi to remove the excess zinc.5.4Alteration of Threaded Fasteners :
5.4.1Fasteners that have been hot-dip galvanized shall not be further altered (such as subjected to a cutting,rolling,finishing-tool operation)by the galvanizer unless specifically authorized in writing by the purchar.
5.4.2Hot-dip galvanizing of externally threaded fasteners shall meet the thread fitting requirements of the specified product standard or specific allowance as determined by the customer.
N OTE 1—The scope of this specification does not cover the require-ments regarding the overtapping of galvanized nuts.The requirements are established by the applicable product standard,such as Specification A 563(or others),or in writing by the purchar,if needed.
5.5Secondary Processing :
5.5.1When requested by the purchar,treatments such as chromating or phosphating shall be applied to reduce the possibility of wet storage staining (white corrosion)or to assist subquent painting.
5.5.2When specified on the purcha order,the nuts,bolts,or screws shall be lubricated to enhance asmbly.
6.Chemical Composition of Zinc
6.1Unless otherwi specified in the product standard,the zinc ud for the coating shall conform to the requirements of the ction on Zinc of Specification A 153/A 153M .
7.Safeguards Against Alteration of Fasteners Mechanical Properties
7.1Stress Relief —Fasteners subjected to vere work hard-ening shall be stress-relieved by the fastener manufacturer prior to hot-dip zinc coating (galvanizing).7.2Hot-Dip Zinc Coating :
7.2.1Effect of Temperature on Mechanical Properties :7.2.1.1Galvanizing carried out at a temperature above 800°F can adverly affect the final mechanical properties of the fasteners.Therefore,the supplier of the fasteners submit-ting the product to the galvanizer shall be aware of the tempering temperature of the fasteners relative to the tempera-ture of the galvanizing bath and the potential effect it may have on the product.When requested by the purchar,the average galvanizing temperature that the fasteners will be subjected to shall be furnished.
7.2.1.2Unless otherwi required by the product standard or by the purchar,testing for mechanical properties is not necessary if the galvanizing process is carried out at a lower temperature than the stress relief or tempering temperature of the fasteners.If the galvanizing process is carried out at a higher temperature than the stress relief or the tempering temperature of the fasteners,than the purchar shall make provision for mechanical testing.
7.2.1.3Threaded fasteners made from carbon or alloy steel heat treated to the specified hardness of
40HRC or above,or ca hardened steel fasteners shall not be hot-dip zinc coated.7.2.2Effect of Hydrogen on the Mechanical Properties after Galvanizing —Hydrogen has the potential of being introduced into the steel during acid pickling,prior to hot-dip galvanizing.For high strength fasteners (having a specified minimum product hardness of 33HRC),there is a risk of internal hydrogen embrittlement.If required by the product standard or by the purchar,mechanical descaling (with or without flash pickling)or baking shall be conducted to reduce the risk of internal hydrogen embrittlement.Baking shall be conducted after pickling and prior to hot-dip galvanizing.
7.2.3Effect of the Galvanizing Temperature —Externally threaded ferrous fasteners over 1.00in.diameter with a specified minimum hardness of HRC 33and higher shall not be hot-dip zinc coated at high temperature in order to avoid microcracks.wardrobe

什么是交流电X1.GALV ANIZING TEMPERATURE
X1.1Normally galvanizing is carried out at a bath tem-perature of820to900°F.High temperature galvanizing is ud to produce a smoother and thinner coating and is carried out at a bath temperature of990to1040°F.Thefinish obtained using the high temperature process is dull.
X2.V ARIATION IN COATING
X2.1During galvanizing of a production lot,variation can be experienced due to factors inherent to the galvanizing process,such as immersion time,zinc temperature,time span between removal of fasteners from the zinc bath and the centrifuging,and the
like.
