1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements for continuously electrolytic zinc coated
cold rolled flat products of low carbon steels suitable for cold forming according
to Table 1 in rolled widths ≥ 600 mm and thicknesses from 0,35 mm up to and including 3 mm,
delivered as strip (in coil form), sheet, slit strip or cut 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 enquiry and order this European Standard can be applied
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 of the zinc coating applied is relatively small, the material is not intended
to withstand outside exposure without further chemical treatment and painting.
