Hot Dip Galvanizing
If you’re working on a job that calls for galvanized steel you want to be sure that’s what you’re using. Just out of the hot-dipping process, galvanized steel has a bright appearance that quickly changes to gray. It’s not necessarily obvious though when steel has been galvanized, which is why, on a surprisingly regular basis, […]

Structural steel often is the material of choice for modern builders. And when design calls for structural steel, the best choice is usually galvanized steel. Here are five reasons why. Galvanized steel is strong and reliable. Hot-dip galvanized steel has the same bend, impact properties, proof strength, and tensile strength of any other structural steel, […]

Corrosion engineers agree that hot-dip galvanizing offers longer-lasting protection than treating with a zinc-rich primer coat. But which method of protecting steel from construction and fabrication makes better financial sense? Let’s start by contrasting the two methods of protecting steel against rust. How Hot-Dip Galvanizing Works Dipping steel in molten zinc is the generations-old process […]
