• electrolytic zinc, zinc-iron, or zinc-nickel coated steel;
• aluminium coated steel; ad
• zinc-aluminium coated steel.
This standard is applicable to the welding of sheets of the same or dissimilar thickness, where the thickness ratio is less than or equal to 3:1. It applies to the welding of three thicknesses, where the total thickness is less than or equal to 9 mm. Welding with the following types of equipment is within the scope of this standard:
• pedestal welding equipment;
