Question 1
According to EN 988, what are the primary alloying elements added to high-purity zinc (min. 99.995% Zn, quality Z1) to produce titanium zinc (Titanzink) for tinsmithing applications, and what is their primary metallurgical function?
Correct Answer:
Titanium (0.08–1.0%) to increase creep resistance (Kriechfestigkeit) and Copper (0.06–0.2%) to increase tensile strength and hardness
Question 2
When newly installed bright titanium zinc (walzblankes Titanzink) is exposed to the atmosphere, what multi-stage chemical reaction leads to the formation of its natural protective patina?
Correct Answer:
Zinc reacts with atmospheric moisture to form zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2), which then reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) to form insoluble basic zinc carbonate (ZnCO3 · 2Zn(OH)2)
Question 3
According to ÖNORM B 3521 and EN 988 guidelines, what is the minimum permissible material temperature for folding, bending, and seaming titanium zinc on a construction site without preheating?
Correct Answer:
+10 °C (material temperature; below which folding causes brittle micro-cracking / Sprödbruch unless preheated with warm air)
Question 4
A master tinsmith is planning a 12.0-meter-long standing seam tray (Doppelstehfalzschar) made of copper (Cu-DHP). If the design temperature difference (Delta T) between winter frost (-10 °C) and summer solar radiation (+70 °C) is 80 K, and the linear thermal expansion coefficient for copper is alpha = 0.017 mm/(m·K), what is the calculated total longitudinal thermal expansion (Delta L)?
Correct Answer:
16.32 mm
Question 5
According to the practical electrochemical flow rule (Fließregel) in tinsmithing and roof drainage design, which of the following material combinations is strictly prohibited due to severe galvanic contact corrosion (Kontaktkorrosion / Lochfraß)?
Correct Answer:
Directing rainwater runoff from an upper copper roof covering (Kupfereindeckung) into lower titanium zinc gutters or galvanized steel downpipes
