This Part of BS 7371 specifies requirements for non-electrolytically applied coatings which are cured from a zinc flake dispersion in a suitable medium. Hydrogen embrittlement is not induced by the coating process. The final coatings consist principally of zinc and can incorporate an integral lubricant with controlled torque/clamping force properties (see for example BS 7371 : Part 2).
This Part of BS 7371 also specifies requirements for the following:
a) two grades of coating;
b) quality assessment of the corrosion resistance of unused coated parts when subjected to neutral salt spray testing (see for example BS 7479);
c) adhesion test.
