Continuously hot-dip coated steel flat products for cold forming - Technical delivery conditions
Scope:
EN 10346 specifies requirements for continuously hot-dip coated products made of low-carbon steels for cold forming, steels for construction, and steels with high proof strength for cold forming, coated with zinc (Z), zinc-iron alloy (ZF), zinc-aluminium alloy (ZA), aluminium-zinc alloy (AZ), zinc-magnesium alloy (ZM), aluminium-silicon alloy (AS) or aluminium (A).
It also specifies requirements for continuously hot-dip coated products made of multiphase steels for cold forming, coated with zinc (Z), zinc-iron alloy (ZF), zinc-aluminium alloy (ZA) or zinc-magnesium alloy (ZM), in thicknesses of 0,20 mm ≤ t ≤ 6,5 mm.
By agreement at the time of enquiry and order, EN 10346 applies to continuously hot-dip coated flat products of an expanded validity range defined for thicknesses t < 0,20 mm with agreed mechanical properties and test specimens, adhesion of coating and surface condition requirements. This standard is applied to strip of all widths and to sheets cut from it (≥600 mm width) and cut lengths (<600 mm width).
The products covered by EN 10346 are used where cold formability, high strength, a defined minimum yield strength or corrosion resistance are the most important factors. Corrosion resistance of the product is depending on coating type and coating thickness, hence to its mass. The products covered by this standard can be used as substrates for organic coated flat products specified in EN 10169 for building and general engineering applications.

Steel — Epoxy powder and sealing material for the coating of steel for the reinforcement of concrete
Scope:
This document specifies requirements for epoxy powders and texturing surface treatment material for use in preparing fusion-bonded epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bar, wire and welded fabric. It also includes requirements for sealing material used to repair damaged areas and cut ends on reinforcing steel.
This document defines a flexible (type A) coating and a nonflexible (type B) coating. The adhesion and moisture resistance of fusion-bonded epoxy powder coatings can be enhanced by certain formulation designs. These coating enhancements typically result in a reduction of the coating’s flexibility.

Metallic materials — Fatigue testing — Axial force-controlled method
Scope:
This document specifies the conditions for conducting axial, constant-amplitude, force-controlled, fatigue tests at ambient, elevated, and low temperature on metallic specimens, without deliberately introduced stress concentrations. The object of testing while employing this document is to provide fatigue information, such as the relation between applied stress and number of cycles to failure for a given material condition, such as microstructure, at various stress ratios.
While the form, preparation and testing of specimens of circular and rectangular cross-section are described, component testing and other specialized forms of testing are not included in this document.
NOTE 1 Fatigue tests on notched specimens are not covered by this document since the shape and size of notched test pieces have not been standardized. However, fatigue-test procedures described in this document can be applied to fatigue tests of such notched specimens.
NOTE 2 Throughout this document, the engineering stress is employed. Engineering stress is equal to the axially applied force divided by the cross-sectional area of the test specimen, S = Force/Area, [MPa], at the test temperature.
