Hot Dipped Galvanizing Services by Valley Nut and Bolt Overview of the process, standards, and benefits of hot dipped galvanizing
What is hot dipped galvanizing?
- Hot dipped galvanizing is a process of coating steel or iron with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion.
- The zinc forms a metallurgical bond with the base metal, creating a durable and uniform coating that can withstand harsh environments.
- Hot dipped galvanizing is widely used for structural, architectural, industrial, and agricultural applications, such as bridges, buildings, fences, pipes, poles, and fasteners.
What are the benefits of hot dipped galvanizing?
- Hot dipped galvanizing provides long-term protection against rust and corrosion, extending the service life of the coated products.
- Hot dipped galvanizing is cost-effective, as it requires low maintenance and reduces the need for painting or replacement.
- Hot dipped galvanizing enhances the appearance and performance of the coated products, as it offers a smooth and uniform finish, and improves the mechanical and chemical properties of the base metal.
What are the standards for hot dipped galvanizing?
- There are two main standards, ASTM A153 (spin galv) and ASTM A123 (dip galv).
