Technical Info

Iron and steel is readily galvanized provided the surface is contaminant free, effectively fluxed and suitably designed/manufactured to allow for adequate drainage of molten zinc and venting of cavities.

To assist us in delivering a high quality zinc coating some considerations by the manufacturer would help in achieving this. Considerations like providing sufficient drainage/venting holes during manufacture and the proper cleaning of welds goes a long way to prevent corrective actions been taken to rectify material prior to galvanizing.

Aspects like material chemistry has a significant affect on hot dip galvanizing and should be understood by all in the event that reactive steel is galvanized and aesthetic appearances become an issue.

Please find very useful information below to assist us in the endeavour to supply to specification requirements and additional information about galvanizing.
