Galvanizing
Corrosion protection by immersing steel in molten zinc to create a durable zinc coating.
0 companies
Hot-dip galvanizing immerses fabricated steel in molten zinc at approximately 840 degrees Fahrenheit, creating a metallurgically bonded zinc coating that provides long-lasting corrosion protection. It is the most common and cost-effective method for protecting structural steel, handrails, grating, and outdoor metalwork.
