HOT DIP GALVANIZING
Hot dip galvanizing after steel fabrication can deter corrosion by providing a tough, metallurgically bonded zinc coating, which seals steel from the environment. This article describes the six fundamental steps in the steel galvanizing process: 1) soil and grease removal, 2) pickling, 3) prefluxing, 4) galvanizing, 5) finishing, and 6) inspection. Specifications from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) that relate to suitable fabrications for galvanizing are reviewed and their salient points are outlined, including ASTM A-143, ASTM A-384, and ASTM A-385. Practical considerations for the galvanizer and handling and storage information is provided as well.
