scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements for continuously electrolytic zinc coated cold rolled flat products of low c arbon steels s uitable f or c old f orming according to Table 1 in r olled widths ≥ 600 m m and thicknesses from 0,35 mm up to and including 3 mm, delivered as s trip ( in c oil form), s heet, slit strip or c ut lengths obtained from slit strip or sheet.

NOTE 1 This European Standard can also be applied to continuously electrolytic zinc coated flat products of:

a) steels according to EN 10139 (cold rolled strip in rolled widths < 600 mm),

b) steels normally characterized by minimum yield strength or minimum tensile strength values in addition to formability parameters, e. g.

1) steels with high yield strength and improved formability according to EN 10268 (cold rolled flat products),

2) multiphase steels (cold rolled or hot rolled) according to prEN 10338,

3) steels for construction according to national or regional standards (see e. g. DIN 1623).

NOTE 2 By agreement at the time of e nquiry a nd order this European Standard can be a pplied to continuously electrolytic zinc coated hot-rolled steel flat products (e.g. according to EN 10025-1 and -2, EN 10111, EN 10149-1 to EN 10149-3, etc.).

NOTE 3 As the mass o f the zinc coating applied is relatively s mall, the material is n ot intended to withstand outside exposure without further chemical treatment and painting.
