After-Fabrication Galvanizing Specification Details AS/NZS 4680:2006 ‘Hot dip galvanized (zinc) coatings on fabricated ferrous articles’ Standard Specification for Hot Dip Galvanized Coatings to be used in conjunction with the Australian/New Zealand Standard 4680 for use with materials specifications. Scope This specication covers the afte-fabrication galvanized cating apoio’ to general ste! articles, structural sections, angles, channels, beams, columns, fabricated steel assembles, castings, threaded fasteners, tel reinforcement and other steel components This specication does not apy to tbe galvanized coating on semi- finished prodets suchas wire, tube or sheet ganized in continous, semi-continuous specialised plats Galvanizing All attics to be galvanized stall be handled in such a manner as to avoid any mechanical damage and to minimise distortion, Design features that may lead to cficulties during galanin should be pointed out prior o dipping Galvanizing parameters such as galvanizing temperature, time of immersion and withdrawal speed shal be employed to suit the requirements of the acl. ‘The composition of the zine inthe galvanizing bath shall not be less that 8.0% zine Coating Requirements 1.

In the event of ary dispute, an independent test shal be carried aut in accordance with AS/NZS 4680, Appendix 2 Surface Finish ‘The galvanized coating shal be continuous, adherent, as smooth ‘and evenly distributed as possible, and fee from any defect that is etrmental tothe stated end use ofthe coated article. On silicon killed stools the coating may be dll grey, provided the coating is sound and continous. ‘The integrity ofthe coating shall be determined by vsval inspection and coating thickness measurements. Where slip factors ae required to enable high strength fiction tip bolting, thse shall be obtained after galanin by suitable mechanical ‘treatment of to fying surfaces. ‘Where a pant finish i to be applied t the galvanized coating, his shuld be advised at the time of order, Galvanized coatings shall have all spikes removed and all edges shall be fee from lumps and rns. 3.
