Standard Specification for Zinc Master Alloys for Use in Hot Dip Galvanizing
This specification covers electrical contact components made from copper tungsten by powder metallurgical procedures. The material shall conform to the chemical composition limits as agreed upon between the manufacturer and the user. Qualification tests for determination of physical properties shall be performed on production parts, wherever practical or applicable. The tests shall be determined after consideration of the function of the part.This specification covers zinc master alloys which are used in hot dip galvanizing for the purpose of adjusting the concentration of certain alloying elements in the molten zinc bath. The paper presented the chemical composition of these materials which include six master alloys of zinc aluminium; Type A-1, Type A-2, Type A-3, Type A-4, Type A-5, Type A-6, and one master alloy of zinc-antimony, Type S-1. The material covered by this specification shall be made of uniform quality and shall be free from harmful contamination. The alloys shall be tested and conform to the required chemical composition requirements.
