INTRODUCTION
1.1
This Specification considers non-electrolytic corrosion proof coatings, obtained from water or solvent-
based dispersions, of zinc and aluminium strips and subsequent baking, for ferrous material parts.
Baking temperatures range from approx. 180C for solvent based organic systems to approx. 300C
for inorganic water based systems.
Additional finishing treatments (topcoat) can be applied on base coatings to enhance the resistance to
corrosion and abrasion, to apply specific colours and/or to change the friction coefficient with the
addition, in that case, of specific additives such as waxes or PTFE.
1.2
Purpose
The main purpose of the coating specified in this Specification is to provide the treated parts with high
corrosion resistance and a controlled friction coefficient value.
The coatings in this Specification must be compliant with the requirements in Annex CK of
spec. 9.01108 and be completely free of chromium compounds.
1.3
Range of application
Depending on the type of part to be treated, the non-electrolytic coatings based on zinc and aluminium
strips can be applied with the following process:
- immersion/centrifugation in bulk;
- immersion/centrifugation on a frame;
- spraying on a frame, in bulk (spiral) or on a pallet.
As a general rule, the bulk processes are suitable for small and medium sized parts, whereas those on
a frame are instead suitable for medium and large sized elements. For parts with retention areas -

These coatings must not be used in the following cases:
- self-locking nuts with a polyamide insert.
- Parts for which good electrical conductivity is required (e.g. earth connections).
- Limited to coatings obtained from water dispersions, for components made of materials for which
temperatures of approx. 300 C cause decay of the mechanical characteristics.
They are also not recommended for:

1.4
Flexibility and impact resistance
The coating must resist the normal extensions and compressions foreseen for springs, as well as the
normal flexing stress to which the elastic washers and the flat springs are subjected during assembly,
without showing signs of flaking or loss of adherence from the base metal.
It must also resist the normal handling and storage conditions without showing signs of peeling,
detachments from the base metal or other relevant damage.
1.5
Appearance
Unless otherwise specified on the drawing, the coating must have a uniform semi-opaque silver grey
appearance (silver).
Another colour may be requested (e.g. black), which is usually obtained by applying one or more
additional finishing layers that can increase the thickness of the coating (approx. greater than 15 m
total), creating a potential issue for short pitch metric threads.

Threaded fastener coating thicknesses
1.7.2.1
When the coating is applied on the threaded elements it must not interfere with normal assembly and
removal operations.
The thickness of the coating is established according to the ISO metric threading, as per UNI 5541,
with the following classes of tolerance:
- g, f and e for outer threading (screws);
- H and G for inner threading (nuts).
For outer threading, these tolerances refer to before coating, whereas for inner threading, they refer to
after coating.
After coating, the upper difference must not be higher than zero (nominal dimension) for outer
threading and less than zero for inner threading.
a) Screws Coating thickness for screws depend on threading pitch and threading tolerance
range. Table 1 shows the theoretical maximum thicknesses inferred from fundamental
differences in tolerance positions g, f and e.
