During the hot dip galvanizing process, iron and steel components are heated to the temperature of the galvanizing bath, of about 450°C. While the steel is immersed in the molten zinc, layers on zinc-iron alloy are formed on the surface by a process of diffusion. When the steel components are withdrawn from the bath these
