The origin and development of hot dip galvanizing process

Hot dip galvanizing has been used for more than 150 years, and its principle has not changed so far. The steel structure should be fully immersed in zinc at one time to achieve uniform galvanized film structure. If it is too long or too wide to be dipped twice, the zinc layer at the joint will appear rough, too thick and so on. In addition, if the single weight of steel structure is too heavy, it will make its operation difficult if it exceeds the load of galvanizing equipment. Therefore, the communication with the hot dip galvanizing factory in advance.

The material of steel structure will affect the organization and thickness of hot dip galvanized film. For example, high tension steel containing silicon, carbon content is high, easy to react with molten zinc quickly, the result of excessive growth of alloying, will cause a grayish black appearance, but does not affect its corrosion resistance. Or heat treated steel, if its tensile strength exceeds 90kg/mm2, after hot dip operation, easy to reduce its strength, etc.
The COMBINATION OF disSIMILAR METALS, such as steel and copper, tin, lead and other non-ferrous metals, during hot dip operation, the dissolution of this non-metal will cause the change of zinc film structure. Also like the combination of old and new steel, in pickling operation, the new material is easy to pickling over. In addition, such as part of the processed components, excessive pickling at the processing place is also.
The principle of hot dip galvanizing is simply that clean iron parts are immersed in a zinc bath through Flux wetting, so that the steel reacts with molten zinc to produce an alloyed skin film.
