Painting and Powder Coating on Hot Dip Galvanizing

A duplex coating is defined as a combination of two different coating systems which often complement one another, Typically this means a metallic coating overcoated by an organic system. Examples of such systems are hot dip galvanizing surfaces which have been painted or powder coated. Typically, a galvanized coating on its own will provide adequate

Masking and Prevention of Hot Dip Galvanized Coating

When galvanizing a steel article, it may be desirable to prevent a coating from forming in certain areas which will have special functions such as: A threaded component on a fabrication Drilled holes Surfaces which will be subject to welding after galvanizing There are several different methods that may be used to prevent a coating

Avoiding Distortion During Hot Dip Galvanizing

In practice, cases of distortion during hot dip galvanizing are relatively infrequent. There are a number of important criteria that designers should keep in mind. Causes Distortion occurs due to the relief of locked-in stresses within a steel section or fabrication. At room temperature, the steel is sufficiently strong to accommodate such stresses, but at

Considerations before Hot Dip Galvanizing: Handling During the Process

Hot dip galvanizing is the process of coating iron or steel articles with a layer of zinc by immersing the metal in a bath of molten zinc at a temperature of around 450°C. There are many galvanizing plants within the UK and Republic of Ireland, all of whom offer a variety of galvanizing bath dimensions
