Galvanized Steel Test

Galvanized Steel Test

  • Reverse Impact Test

    The reverse impact test is a destructive test to confirm the proper adhesion of the zinc coating to the steel surface.

    Standard: ASTM 2794

    Device used: Impact tester

  • Lock Forming

    This simulation test is to confirm the proper adhesion of the zinc coating to the steel surface.

    Device used: Lock former

     

  • Coating Bend Test

    Standard : ASTM A653M

    The coating bend test is performed to determine the adhesion of the zinc coating to the steel surface.

    Device used: Bench vice

  • Tensile Testing

    Standard : ASTM E8 & ASTM A370

    The yield strength, tensile strength, and percentage elongation of galvanized steel sheet are measured.

    Device used: Universal tensile testing machine.

  • Rockwell Hardness

    Standard : ASTM E18 & ASTM A370

    The hardness of galvanized steel is measured on both regular and superficial scales.

    Device used : Rockwell hardness tester.

  • Zinc Purity

    Standard: ISO 3815

    The chemical compositions of zinc and zinc alloys are measured to determine the percentage contents of zinc, aluminum, iron, cadmium, lead, tin, magnesium, copper, and antimony.

    Device used: Optical emission spectrometer.

  • Zinc Coating Mass

    Standard : ASTM A90

    Laboratory analysis is considered the most accurate method for measuring the mass of the zinc coating.

    Device used : Analytical precision weighing balance.

  • Lead in Zinc

    Standard : ASTM E1613

    Laboratory analysis is considered the most accurate method for measuring the lead level in zinc.

    Device used : Inductively coupled plasma device
