Standard Specification for Zinc Master Alloys for Use in Hot Dip Galvanizing
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 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. Table 1 covers the chemical composition of these materials which include three master alloys of zinc-aluminum (brightener) and one master alloy of zinc-antimony.
