Fasteners - Non-electrolytically applied zinc flake coatings
1 Scope
This part of GB/T 5267 specifies requirements for non-electrolytically applied zinc flake coatings for steel fasteners. It applies to coatings:
——with or without hexavalent chromium;
——with or without top coat;
——with or without lubricant (integral lubricant and/or subsequently added lubricant).
Note: National regulations for the restriction or prohibition of certain chemical elements shall be taken into account in the countries or regions concerned.
It applies to bolts, screws, studs and nuts with ISO metric thread, to fasteners with non-ISO metric thread, and to non-threaded fasteners such as washers, pins, clips, etc.
Note: Coatings in accordance with this part are especially used for high strength fasteners (≥1,000MPa) to avoid risk of internal hydrogen embrittlement (see 4.4).
Information for design and assembly of coated fasteners is given in Annex A.
This part does not specify requirements for such fastener properties as weldability or paintability. It does not apply to mechanically applied zinc coatings.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 3099.3 apply.
4 General characteristics of the coating
4.1 Zinc flake coatings
Non-electrolytically applied zinc flake coatings are produced by applying a zinc flake dispersion to the surface of a steel fastener, usually with the addition of aluminium flakes, in a suitable medium. Under the influence of heat curing, a bonding amongst flakes and also between flakes and substrate is generated, thus forming an inorganic surface coating sufficiently electrically conducting to ensure cathodic protection. The coating may or may not contain hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI).
Special techniques shall be necessary to avoid excessive or insufficient coating thickness.
Special techniques shall be necessary to prevent lightweight or flat fasteners from sticking together (e.g. washers, clips, fasteners with washer, flanged nuts).
An additional top coat may be applied to increase corrosion resistance and/or to achieve specific properties (e.g. torque/tension properties, chemical resistance, appearance, color, electrical insulation/conductivity, see A.2).
4.2 Composition of zinc flake coating
There are four basic zinc flake coating systems as shown in Figure 1.
Keys:
1——only base coat;
2——base coat + lubricant;
3——base coat + top coat;
4——base coat + top coat + lubricant.
Figure 1 Basic zinc flake coating systems
Base coat and top coat may be with integral lubricant, see detailed possible combinations in A.1.2.
4.3 Mechanical and physical properties and curing
The coating process shall not adversely influence the mechanical and physical properties of the fasteners.
Depending on the zinc flake coating system, the curing temperatures may be up to 350℃. The curing temperature shall not be above the tempering temperature of fasteners.
Warning: The curing process (especially with higher temperature and/or longer duration) may affect the fatigue limit of fasteners with thread rolled after heat treatment. See also A.1.3 for other possible factors.
