What is Galvanizing? 🔥 Visit weldfabworld.com Galvanizing is the process of coating steel with a thin layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. This zinc layer acts as both a barrier and a sacrificial protection, making galvanized steel one of the most durable and cost-effective materials for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments. ⚙️ 1. Purpose of Galvanizing Prevents corrosion by forming a protective barrier. Provides sacrificial protection — zinc corrodes instead of steel. Extends se

Getting tubular steel ready for hot-dip galvanizing starts long before it reaches the kettle. Our Venting & Drainage guidance covers how to: • Remove mill coatings and weld soot so zinc can bond properly • Place vent holes at the high points and drain holes at the low points • Crop gusset plates and stiffeners so zinc can flow in and out cleanly Thoughtful detailing helps avoid bare spots, trapped solutions, and excessive zinc buildup, while improving safety for galvanizing personnel.
