Code of Zinc-containing Rustproof Coating
1. Seope
‘This standard describes the code of zinc-containing rustproof conting (hereinafter
referred to as the “
ating”) which is applied to the base metal of ferrous parts for
corrosion prevention.
(Roforontial Information)
Zinc-oonlaining rustproof couling has two categories. One is Dacro coating
containing Hexavalent chromium, whieh is formed first by applying a solution
consisting of metal zine powder and chromic acid to work uniformly and then by
carrying out a baking process, ancl the other is the coating containing no chromium,
commonly called as “alternative Dacro", which is formed first by applying a solution
consisting of metal zine powder, aluminum powder and organic hinder to work
uniformly and then by baking process.
2. Type and codes
The type and the code shalll be classified depending on coating weight as shown in
Table 1

Note: Applicable parts shall be as follows;
a. Those parts of which corrosion resistance and heat resistance (100 to 250°C)
cannot be satistied by electrogalvanizing.
b, Those parts which are likely to develop hydrogen embrittlement due to high
ength or high hardness.
¢. Those parts which are difficult. o clectrogalva nize, for example, the

pipes or the parts of complicated configurations
Remarks 1, The color of this coating is silver grey.
2. This coated parts shall not be used in the aren around batteries and the
area being exposed to exhaust gas as is the case with
cloetrogalvaniving,

3.1 External view
‘The coating shall be free from defects harmful to normal use, such as blister,
base metal exposure, irregular color and wrinkles of coating.213

measured. The coating weight per unit area can be determined by dividing the
thus-obtained differential weight by the surface area of the specimen.
A specimen ® of about 50 to 100 g shall be prepared. ‘Ihe weight of the
specimen shall be measured down to 0.001g by means of a chemical balancer.

approximately 10 minutes, the specimen shall he immersed in a 20% caustic
soda solution which has been preheated to 70 0 80°C in order thal. the coating
may be solved completely. The specimen whose coating has been solved
completely shall be washed thoroughly using water. Immediately after the
washing, the specimen shall he dried quickly. Again the weight of the specimen
shall be measured down to 0.001g. (Wdosignate this measurement result as “B”

of complicated configurations, this coating weight requirement shall
be cletermined in accordance with a mutual agreement between the
parties concerned to clelivery of the parts
4.2 Corrosion resistanoe test
The corrosion resistance lest shall be subject to SES N 3183 (Salt Spray Test
‘Methods for Surface Treatment on Metal-Based Materials).
4.3 Adhesion test
‘The adhesion test shall be conducted in accordance with the cross cut adhesion
test specified in section 4.15 of the JIS D 0202 “General Rule of Coating Films of
Automobile Parts”
