Hot-Dip Galvanizing
Hot-dip galvanizing is the process of coating steel with a layer of zinc. The process itself is short, but its effect is long-lasting and prevents further maintenance costs for the client from the outset. Traditionally, the steel used in industrial and civil construction is painted rather than galvanized. As a result, its service life is much shorter. Hot-dip galvanizing can be applied to products in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, from fasteners (bolts, nails, etc.) to structural members 20 m long or even longer. Products with complex configurations, such as open containers and parts with holes, can be hot-dip galvanized in a single operation both inside and out, ensuring a compact and uniform coating even in hard-to-reach areas, edges and corners, and therefore complete protection of the parts.
Work stages
Surface preparation, which comprises three distinct steps: degreasing, pickling and fluxing, all aimed at achieving a high-quality coating.
Immersion in a bath of molten zinc (approx. 450°C) for a few minutes, which forms a series of Fe-Zn alloy intermetallic layers metallurgically bonded to the base metal.
Delivery to the job site and erection of the pre-galvanized steel structures, which make up a durable, high-quality, long-lasting product.
