Hot-dip galvanizing is the process of immersing steel in a kettle containing molten zinc. While in the kettle, the steel reacts with the molten zinc to form a metallurgical alloy coating that provides superior protection to the steel.
At the end of the process, the metal surface is covered with a micron level armor plate. This armor plate prevents the metal from rusting in many different atmospheric conditions. A hot-dip galvanized product can last for years without any maintenance or repair.
Hot-dip galvanizing is the best-known method for protecting steel. Durability, longevity, low cost, versatility, sustainability, and aesthetics are the advantages of hot-dip galvanizing. Hot-dip galvanizing provides unmatched protection to steel, numerous applications of steel products used in harsh environments benefit from hot-dip galvanizing process.
