Introduction
The chromium(VI) free systems differ in 2 points from the chromium(VI)-containing systems:
a) there is no self-healing of the system;
b) higher temperature resistance (> 150 °C), the limit for chromium(VI) containing systems, is ≤ 70 °C.

DIN EN ISO 19598:2017-04
EN ISO 19598:2016 (E)
1 Scope
This International Standard applies to electrodeposited zinc and zinc-alloy coatings on iron and
steel with Cr(VI)-free passivation. The zinc-alloy coatings contain nickel or iron as alloying elements
(referred to as zinc/nickel and zinc/iron coatings, respectively).
The main purpose of the coatings or coating systems is protecting iron and steel components against
corrosion.
This International Standard specifies
— the designations to be used for the above coating systems,
— the minimum corrosion resistance to be achieved in specified test procedures, and
— the minimum coating thicknesses required.
2 Normative references

4 Designation
4.1 Electrodeposited coatings

The electrodeposited coatings shall be composed of zinc or zinc-alloys as listed in Table 1.
Table 1 — Designation of electrodeposited coatings

Symbol Definition
Zn Zinc coating without alloying element
ZnFe Zinc-alloy containing a mass fraction of 0,3 % to 1,0 % iron
ZnNi Zinc-alloy containing a mass fraction of 12 % to 16 % nickel
4.2 Passivation
Passivation is the production of conversion coatings by treating coatings with suitable Cr(VI)-free
solutions in order to improve their corrosion resistance. The conversion coating may optionally be dyed.
Since the Cr(VI)-free passivations are new coating systems, the new nomenclature is listed in Table 2.

coloured and iridescent “thin-layer passivation”
Iridescent Cn Coloured and Often referred to as
iridescent “thick-layer passivation”
Black Fn Black
a Tints are permissible.
4.3 Post treatment

Application of a sealant or top coats increases corrosion resistance.
Sealant layers normally show a thickness of up to 2 µm and are composed of Cr(VI)-free organic and/or
inorganic compounds. Coatings that can be removed with cold cleaning agents, such as those with an
oil, grease or wax base, are not considered as sealants in the context of this International Standard.
Top coats are normally thicker than 2 µm and are Cr(VI)-free organic thin coatings which may need
elevated temperature curing. Particularly for coatings with black passivation, a postdip can be used for
increasing corrosion resistance and improving colour depth.
The impact of the post treatments mentioned to component properties such as contact resistance,
weldability, compatibility with fuels, performance in bonded joints, etc., when in service shall be
assessed on a case by case basis.
Since the range of surface modifications is very large, the use of a post treatment mentioned and the
type shall be agreed on in the case of surface coatings that are subject to particular requirements.
NOTE The post treatment mentioned normally remove the interference colours produced by passivation.

4.4 Significant (functional) surfaces

Components with complex shapes, particularly those having cavities, may not be capable of meeting
the corrosion resistance and minimum thickness criteria required in the accelerated corrosion tests at
all the points on the electroplated surface. In such cases, the significant surfaces for the coating system
shall be indicated on the drawing by a dot-and-dash line.
If the purchaser does not specify a significant surface, the definition given in ISO 27830:2008, Clause 6
shall apply.
4.5 Examples of designations

Designation of a zinc/nickel alloy coating on a steel (Fe) component having a minimum local coating
thickness of 8 μm (8) and iridescent passivation (Cn):
Electroplated coating ISO 19598 – Fe//ZnNi8//Cn//T0
Designation of a zinc/iron alloy coating on a steel (Fe) component having a minimum local coating
thickness of 8 μm (8) with black passivation (Fn) and sealant (T2):
Electroplated coating ISO 19598 – Fe//ZnFe8//Fn//T2
Designation of a zinc coating on a steel (Fe) component having a minimum local coating thickness of 12 μm
(12) and black passivation (Fn); application of a subsequent sealant is left to the choice of the coater:
Electroplated coating ISO 19598 – Fe//Zn12//Fn//Tx
5 Information to be supplied by the purchaser to the electroplater

The minimum information to be provided by the purchaser to the electroplater shall comprise the
following:
a) the tensile strength of the component (to enable the requirements in 7.4 to be taken into account);
b) component information (basis material, production method, heat treatment);
c) information on significant surfaces as required by 4.4;
d) designation of the coating to be applied (see 4.5).
If desired, further requirements, such as appearance, friction properties and media resistance, may be
imposed on the properties of the coatings to be applied and the testing extended accordingly.
8
DIN EN ISO 19598:2017-04
EN ISO 19598:2016 (E)

If necessary, additional information relating to requirements or restrictions to be imposed on the

coating process shall be provided.
6 Basis materials
The application of coatings complying with this International Standard to low-alloyed steels is state
of the art. In the case of other iron-based materials, such as cast iron or sintered materials, materials
with a substantial content of passivatable alloying elements or materials with special strength
properties, it may be necessary to specially adapt the treatment processes (pre-treatment, coating,
supplementary treatment) and possibly to take additional measures in order to fulfil the requirements
of this International Standard. For this reason, the electroplater shall have detailed information about
the composition, properties and production of the components to be coated.
If steel components having tensile strengths of 1 000 N/mm2 and above are to be coated, steps will
have to be taken even at the early stages of production (e.g. when choosing the material, the hardening
process and the assembly procedure) to eliminate with a high degree of reliability the possibility of
damage resulting from internal hydrogen embrittlement.
The components to be coated shall not exhibit any material, processing or surface defects that may
affect the corrosion protection and/or appearance of the coatings adversely or in an unpredicted way.
It shall be possible to remove any impurities (e.g. corrosion products or scale, oil, grease, dirt, etc.) from
the surface of the components without leaving any residue by the standard cleaning and pre-treatment
procedures.
It may be necessary to draw up an agreement on surface quality.
7 Coating and processing
7.1 Surface preparation and deposition of zinc or zinc-alloy coating

To ensure that the process is reliable and reproducible, the entire pre-treatment and coating cycle,
together with the associated physical data, e.g. treatment times and temperatures, and all the processing
chemicals, shall be recorded, documented and, if necessary, optimized. The individual process control
limits shall be defined along with the frequency of monitoring and the analytical procedures. The
actions these require shall be described and recorded by the electroplater.
A typical process cycle would be as set out below:
a) alkaline degreasing (adapted to suit the oil- or grease-based films encountered);
b) pickling (usually in hydrochloric acid, inhibited);
c) electrolytic alkaline degreasing (preferably anodic);
d) electroplating;
e) supplementary treatment comprising passivation and possibly sealing;
f) drying.
7.2 Supplementary treatments
7.2.1 Passivation layers
Passivation layers are conversion coatings produced by dipping components in, or spraying them with,
passivation solutions. The deposited coating reacts with the passivation solution to form a thin film
that protects the metallic coating. Some of the deposited coating is normally dissolved as a result of the
reaction.
9
DIN EN ISO 19598:2017-04
EN ISO 19598:2016 (E)

7.2.2 Post treatment
The post treatment is carried out by applying additional organic and/or inorganic substances to, or
incorporating them in, the passivation.
Depending on the geometry of the component and the process, this may result in an accumulation of
several post treatments. The latter shall be kept to a minimum, e.g. by spraying in the case of rack-
electroplated components or agitation in the case of barrel-electroplated components.
7.3 Barrel-/rack-plating (handling of parts)
7.3.1 Barrel electroplating
Among the parts typically treated in coating barrels are screws, nuts and other small components.
After the parts have been loaded into the barrels in bulk, they are pre-treated and coated with the
barrel rotating. The rotation ensures that the coating of all the components is more or less identical, but
it may give rise to surface damage. This damage can be minimized, for example, by reducing the barrel
rotation or the drop height when the barrels are emptied. The corrosion resistance is normally less
than that achieved by rack electroplating.
7.3.2 Rack electroplating
Parts may have to be coated in rack technology because of their size or shape or possibly because they
have to meet special requirements. In this process, the components are placed on racks for coating.
The characteristics of the coatings (especially the thickness of the metallic coating) may vary with the
position of the components on the rack, but optimization may be possible, for example, by designing
racks for particular components.
7.4 Hydrogen embrittlement
7.4.1 Basic factors
During processes such as pickling, electrolytic cleaning and electrodeposition of metal coatings, steel
parts coated by the procedure described in this International Standard may absorb hydrogen as a result
of hydrogen diffusing preferentially through the metal lattice to energetically favourable positions,
such as structural defects in the lattice and points with high concentrations of stress.
This may result in delayed hydrogen-induced brittle fractures. Particular attention has to be paid to the
critical interaction of
— the material and its characteristics (strength, hardness),
— hydrogen absorption during the pre-treatment and coating processes, and
— mechanical stresses in the components, including those that vary locally as a function of shape.

Figure 1 — Interaction of material, mechanical stress and hydrogen absorption
The crucial material properties are strength and toughness, the risk of hydrogen embrittlement
increasing with the strength of the material.
All steel parts having a tensile strength Rm ≥1 000 N/mm2 (even if localized as in case-hardened or
cold-worked structures or in the vicinity of welds) are considered high-strength and classified as
critical.
NOTE Rm is the symbol of the tensile strength. The dimension of tensile strength is force per unit area; the
commonly used units are N/mm2 or MPa (megapascal).
7.4.2 Choice of procedure
7.4.2.1 Basis material strength <1 000 N/mm2
The choice of treatment procedures is unrestricted, provided the requirements of this International
Standard are fulfilled and service performance is not adversely affected.
7.4.2.2 Basis material strength ≥1 000 N/mm2
In coating high-strength components, the prevention of delayed brittle fractures (hydrogen

embrittlement) is of paramount importance.
The surface treatment shall be performed in such a way as to prevent damage due to delayed hydrogen-
induced brittle fractures with a high degree of certainty. How to deal with potentially defective coating
(e.g. by stripping and re-coating) shall be investigated and the outcome documented.
The steps taken to minimize the risk of delayed hydrogen-induced brittle fractures shall be agreed
between the electroplater and the purchaser. (The baking time and temperature shall be agreed
between the supplier and purchaser, based on the coating material and properties.)
11
DIN EN ISO 19598:2017-04
EN ISO 19598:2016 (E)

The necessary process investigation and process testing associated with the manufacture may be
performed, for example, by strain testing an adequate number of suitable hydrogen-sensitive specimens.
The advice given in ISO 9587 and ISO 9588 shall be borne in mind.
To prevent brittle fractures, heat treatment processes shall be performed after electroplating to
promote hydrogen effusion, and possibly even before electroplating, to relieve internal component
stresses. In this connection, see ISO 9587 and ISO 9588.
Particular attention shall be paid to ensuring that the deposited metallic coating does not act as
a diffusion barrier and prevent hydrogen effusion. The properties of the components shall not be
adversely affected.
NOTE Guideline values for heat treatment to promote hydrogen effusion are given in Table 4.

electroplating

>1 250 to 1 450 12
>1 450 to 1 600 20
>1 600 to 2 000 24
In addition to the measures described above, components potentially subject to hydrogen damage shall
be tested as specified in ISO 9588.
8 Requirements to be met by coatings and test methods
8.1 Thickness
Table 5 shows the minimum zinc or zinc-alloy coating thicknesses (dmin) provided on significant
surfaces by the specified processes.
The thicknesses of zinc and zinc-alloy coatings shall preferably be determined by X-ray fluorescence as
in ISO 3497.
Examples of other methods that can be used are as follows:
a) microscopic determination as in ISO 1463;
b) coulometric determination as in ISO 2177;
c) magnetic determination as in ISO 2178;
d) eddy current permeability as in ISO 2360 and ISO 15549.
No account is taken of the thicknesses of passivation and sealant layers.
8.2 Adhesion
There shall be no peeling or blistering if the test pieces are kept at (220 ± 10) °C for 30 min and then
immediately quenched in water at 15 °C to 25 °C (thermal shock test based on ISO 2819).
Bending or burnishing, if feasible, is recommended as a further adhesion test.
12
DIN EN ISO 19598:2017-04
EN ISO 19598:2016 (E)

8.3 Absence of Cr(VI)

The coating deposited shall be free of Cr(VI) when analysed as specified in ISO 3613:2010, 5.5.2.
8.4 Accelerated corrosion testing
8.4.1 General
The process stability of the coatings can be controlled by salt spray test according to ISO 9227. For
qualification of coated parts, the guidelines in, e.g. ISO/TR 16335, can be used.
NOTE Since the temperature, humidity, flow conditions, etc. may be very different from the limited test
atmospheres specified in the accelerated corrosion tests, the results of accelerated corrosion tests cannot be
used without qualification to predict the corrosion behaviour of components when in service.
8.4.2 Minimum corrosion resistance of passivated zinc and zinc-alloy coatings
No corrosion products, such as white corrosion in the coating or red rust in the basis material, shall
appear within the minimum test times specified for a given coating system and test. The evaluation
shall be based on the significant surfaces of the component.
The minimum corrosion resistances apply in the “coated state” and also after thermal ageing at 120 °C
for 24 h prior to the corrosion test. Thermal ageing is unnecessary for the Zn//An//T0 coating system.
Treatments such as waxing and greasing, which have not been agreed but which could improve
resistance in the corrosion test, are not permitted.
Operations such as sorting, transportation, assembly or exposure to aggressive media shall be avoided
prior to corrosion testing since they may adversely affect the corrosion resistance properties of the
coatings. Assessment or limitation of such damage is not covered by this International Standard.
The corrosion resistance that can be achieved by coatings may depend not only on the coating system
and the quality of the coating, but also to a considerable extent on the component to be coated (e.g. on
the material and the geometry). If optimum coating quality cannot readily be achieved in the case of
a component (e.g. because of defects in the material or complicated component geometry), it may be
necessary to agree a reduced corrosion resistance.
