Hot Dip Galvanized Iron

The hot dip galvanizing process is relatively simple. It involves cleaning steel and immersing it in molten zinc to obtain a coating. Hot dip galvanizing is the process of coating iron or steel with a layer of zinc by immersing the metal in a bath of molten zinc at a temperature of around 450 °C (842 °F).

• cleaning cycle – decreasing and chemical clean
• fluxing – helps to wet the surface of the steel
• galvanizing – immersion of steel into bath of molten zinc
• post treatment (optional)
