Hot Dip Galvanizing
Hot-dip galvanized steel has been around since 1742. In the nearly-280 years since a French chemist named Paul Jacques Moulin first described the galvanizing process, fabricators and construction engineers all over the world have gathered a tremendous amount of evidence on the durability of galvanized steel. But the million-dollar question — or depending on the […]

If rust is a concern either use a metal that doesn’t corrode, or coat one that does. Metals that don’t rust – looking at you, stainless steel – carry a cost penalty, and often a performance one too. Coating lets you use a metal that’s less expensive and often easier to work. Paint is the […]

If you don’t work in construction, the auto industry, or safety management, chances are that you don’t know a lot about the galvanizing process. But, we’re willing to bet that you deal with galvanized steel every day even if you aren’t paying attention to it. Here are seven items you probably didn’t know were galvanized. […]

The process of hot-dip galvanization is more important than most think. Imagine if things like bridges, lamp posts, and others did not have that protective layer – it would be rusted and would need to be replaced more often, which can be costly. Galvanizing allows the steel to have a much longer life. No one […]

Galvanized steel has become a preferred construction material because of lower initial cost, lower maintenance costs, ease of inspection, faster construction time, and complete protection of structural elements. Galvanized steel manufacturers have a centuries-long history of innovation that have made and keep galvanized steel one of the world’s most important building materials and structural components. […]
