This book can be viewed as a scientific investigation combined with methodological studies. For practical reasons each of the methods is described in the following general manner including: the uses and the scientific investigation tasks; methods of sampling; testing equipment; test preparation; tests; data processing; controversial issues and conclusions. Each of the 37 methods contains a range of 1 to 8 variants. As far as we know, the book is the first publication in the field.

Based on investigations across Europe and North America, this report addresses the key areas of interest to architects, engineers, manufacturers, installers and building owners.Recommendations are given on the specification of appropriate materials (including insurance and guarantee arrangements), design guidance, installation and maintenance and on the need for training of installers. Areas requiring further research and standardisation are also identified.

The Metallurgy of Zinc Coated Steels provides a comprehensive overview of the science and engineering of zinc coatings. Beginning with a look at new innovations made in the hot-dip coating methods (CGL), the book goes on to discuss phase equilibria, Zn bath phenomena and overlay coating formations. Both processing methods and controls are covered, as well as corrosion resistance and coating product properties. The book concludes with a discussion of future opportunities for zinc coatings. This book is a vital resource for both individuals new to this area while also serving as a handbook for users and producers of zinc coatings. - Presents a basic understanding of the science and engineering behind zinc coatings with a thorough and cutting-edge look at their processing methods, controls, properties, and applications - Discusses corrosion resistance, overlay coating formation, heat treatment, interface reactions, deposition processes, and more - Covers real-world applications of these coatings
