ASTM A792M

What is ASTM A792M?

ASTM A792M Standard Specification for Steel Sheet, 55 % Aluminum-Zinc Alloy-Coated by the Hot-Dip Process.

Hot dipped galvalume steel coil is an alloy steel plate composed of 55% Aluminum, 43.5% Zinc,1.5% Silicon. Hot dipped galvalume steel coil demonstrates stable anti-rust and anti-corrosion ability in various acid and alkaline, humid, and rainy environmental tests. So, galvalume steel coil has a wide range of applications in the industry.

Chinese standard: GBT 14978

European standard: EN10215

Japanese standard: JIS G3321

What is AFP?

AFP full name is Anti-finger Print, it is means stand of Surface treatment is Anti-Finger print.  

Anti-finger print is a composite coated board obtained after fingerprint-resistant treatment on the surface of a galvalume sheet. Anti-fingerprint steel plate is the first material to pass environmental certification. Because the surface will not leave fingerprints when touched with a clean finger, it is named “Anti-Finger print”. The surface of the Anti-Finger print steel plate is smooth and flat with small tolerances.

The Coating Mass chart of ASTM A792M

Coating Composition-The 55 % aluminum-zinc coating composition by weight, is nominally 55 % aluminum 1.5 % silicon, and the balance zinc.

The coating applied shall be of equivalent thickness on both surfaces. The coating mass weight chart design is as follows:

ASTM A792M Surface treatment (temporary surfaceprotection)

Hot-dip galvalume steel products generally receive a surface protection at the producer’s plant as specified as regular surface treatment as below:

Chemical passivation (C)

Chemical passivation may be carried out after coating to protect the surface against humidity and to reduce the risk of the formation of wet storage stains (known as black rust). Chemical passivation may cause slight discoloration of the surface but is not detrimental to the general performance of the product.

Oiling (O)

This treatment also reduces the risk of formation of black rust.
It shall be possible to remove the oil layer with a suitable degreasing solvent which does not adversely affect the coating. Products supplied oiled may require additional lubrication prior to rolling or drawing.

Chemical passivation and oiling(CO)

Agreement may be reached on this combination of surface treatment if increased protection against the formation of black rust is required.

Untreated(U)

Hot-dip aluminium-zinc coated flat products are only supplied without surface treatment if expressly desired by the purchaser on his own responsibility.In this case, there is an increased risk of early corrosion during transportation and storage.

This article mainly introduces the American standard ASTM A792 technical labeling and common knowledge of galvanized products.
