This European Standard specifies requirements for continuously hot-dip aluminium-silicon alloy coated flat products made of low carbon steels for cold forming (see Table 1) or of structural steels (see Table 2) in thicknesses <= 3,0 mm. The thickness is the final thickness of the delivered product after coating. This European Standard applies to strip of all widths and to sheets cut from it (>= 600 mm width) and cut lengths (< 600 mm width). The aluminium-silicon alloy coating is obtained by immersing the products in a bath containing 8 % to 11 % Si (also referred to as type 1). The available coatings, coating masses and surface qualities are given in 7.2 to 7.3 and Table 3. The products covered by this European Standard are mainly used where heat resistance and corrosion resistance are the most important factors. This European Standard is not applicable to steel flat products with hot-dip coating of pure aluminium (normally referred to as type 2 coating).
