What is Hot Dip Galvanizing and It's Benefits? (R)

Hot dip galvanizing is defined as the process of dipping the fabricated steel into a bath containing molten zinc.

Hot-dip galvanizing is the method of immersing the steel or product in a bath containing molten zinc to make a corrosion-resistant, multi-layered coating of zinc-iron alloy and zinc metal. When the steel is fully immersed in the batch, there will be a metallurgic reaction between the molten zinc and steel which starts diffusing and forms the coating perpendicular to the entire surface of the steel and it provides the uniform thickness with full coverage. Dry Film Thickness Gauge is used to measure the thickness of hot dip galvanizing coating

The purpose of this galvanizing is to protect the metal from corrosion and it is one of the best effective ways to prevent rust and corrosion. Zinc galvanizing works as a barrier. It does not permit the deposition of moisture or any atmospheric effect and it will ensure the metal is free from rust or corrosion.

Hot-dip galvanizing processes has been followed more than 75 years for the protection of corrosion since the cost is low comparing to other specialized process, and also adaptable, sustainable, resilient, and more. Ensuring corrosion protection will give your equipment a longer lifespan.

it can be applied in harsh environments and it delivers maintenance-free durability for years to come. Hot dip galvanizing shall be carried out after proper surface preparation such as acid pickling or Shot blasting surface SA 2.5 and Surface roughness can be compared with a surface profile comparator.

What are the benefits of Hot dip galvanizing?

It is good resistant to abrasions and it will show the same performance against corrosion, even if it is scratched or gouged.

Galvanizing steel will protect the entire surface of the products and provide complete coverage. Galvanizing works as an obstacle between the steel and the atmospheric air. It protects the steel from the damage which caused by water, wind, salt, debris, and other potential things.

·       It provides a long, maintenance-free life span and it doesn’t require periodical repair or service.
