Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9364 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 17, Steel, Subcommittee SC 12, Continuous mill flat
rolled products.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 9364:2001), which has been technically
revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9364:2006(E)

Continuous hot-dip aluminium/zinc-coated steel sheet of
commercial, drawing and structural qualities
1 Scope
This International Standard applies to the characteristics of steel sheet of commercial, drawing and structural
qualities coated by a continuous hot-dip aluminium/zinc alloy coating process. The aluminium/zinc alloy
composition by mass is nominally 55 % aluminium, 1,6 % silicon, and the balance zinc. The product is
intended for applications where the corrosion characteristics of aluminium coupled with those of zinc are
desired.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
normal spangle
coating formed as a result of unrestricted growth of aluminium/zinc crystals during normal solidification
3.2
smooth finish
smooth coating produced by skinpassing the coated material in order to achieve an improved surface
condition compared with the normal as-coated product

3.3
ageing
susceptibility to changes in properties with the passage of time
NOTE Ageing may result in a change in yield strength and a corresponding decrease in ductility during storage.
Ageing always has a negative effect on formability. The redevelopment of an upper yield point as a result of ageing can
result in a renewed susceptibility to surface imperfections, such as stretcher strain marks (Luder’s Lines) and fluting when
the steel is formed. To avoid these adverse outcomes, it is essential that the period between final processing at the
producing mill and fabrication be kept to a minimum. Rotation of stock, by using the oldest material first, is important.
Effective roller leveling immediately prior to fabrication can achieve reasonable freedom from stretcher strain marks.
3.4
skin pass
a light cold rolling of the coated steel sheet
NOTE The purpose of the skin pass is to produce a higher degree of surface smoothness and thereby improve the
surface appearance. The skin pass also temporarily minimizes the occurrence of a surface condition known as stretcher
strain (Luder’s Lines) or fluting during the fabrication of finished parts. The skin pass also controls and improves flatness.
Some increase in hardness and some loss in ductility will result from skin passing.
3.5
differential coating
coating having a coating mass on one surface that is significantly different from the coating mass on the other
surface
4 Thickness, ordering conditions and fabrication qualities
4.1 Aluminum/zinc-coated steel sheet is produced in thicknesses up to and including 5,0 mm after coating,
and in widths of 600 mm and over in coils and cut lengths. Aluminium/zinc-coated steel sheet less than
600 mm wide may be slit from wide sheet and will be considered as sheet.
4.2 The thickness of hot-dip aluminum/zinc-coated steel sheet may be specified as a combination of the
base metal and metallic coating, or as base metal alone. The purchaser shall indicate on the order which
method of specifying thickness is required. In the event that the purchaser does not indicate any preference,
the thickness as a combination of the base metal and coating will be provided. Annex B describes the
requirements for specifying the thickness as base metal alone.
4.3 Aluminium/zinc-coated steel sheet may be ordered in one of two ordering conditions.
⎯ Ordering condition A): Steel ordered to satisfy mechanical properties.
⎯ Ordering condition B): Steel ordered to make an identified part.
4.4 Aluminium/zinc-alloy-coated steel sheet is available in several fabrication qualities.
a) Commercial: intended for general fabricating purposes, where sheet is used in the flat, or for bending or
moderate forming.
b) Drawing: intended for applications where drawing or severe forming may be involved.
c) Deep drawing: intended for applications where severe drawing or severe forming may be involved.
d) Structural: aluminium/zinc-coated steel sheet is produced in six grades as defined by minimum yield
stress.
e) Interstitial free steel (IF Steel) may be applied on orders specifying 02 drawing [see item b)] or 03 deep
drawing [see item c)] provided that the customer be informed of the substitution and related shipping
documents that reflect the actual material shipped.

chromium or molybdenum present is less than 0,02 %, the analysis may be reported as “< 0,02 %”.
b
The sum of copper, nickel, chromium and molybdenum shall not exceed 0,50 % on heat analysis. When one or more of these
elements are specified, the sum does not apply; in which case, only the individual limits on the remaining elements will apply.
c
The sum of chromium and molybdenum shall not exceed 0,16 % on heat analysis. When one or more of these elements are
specified, the sum does not apply; in which case, only the individual limits on the remaining elements will apply.

e
For interstitial free steel (IF Steel), only the value of 0,15 % maximum for titanium, and 0,10 % maximum for niobium and
vanadium, are acceptable to ensure that the carbon and nitrogen are fully stabilized.
A verification analysis may be made by the purchaser to verify the specified analysis of the product and shall
take into consideration any normal heterogeneity. Non-killed steels (such as rimmed or capped) are not
technologically suited to product analysis. The product analysis tolerances are shown in Table 3.
