Galvanization is a crucial process in steel manufacturing and corrosion protection, ensuring the longevity and durability of steel structures. At Hit Factory, we specialize in hot-dip and electro-galvanizing solutions to provide high-quality galvanized steel in Saudi Arabia.
This guide will walk you through the step-by-step galvanization process, from surface preparation to final quality checks, helping you understand the importance of this protective coating.
Step 1: Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for an effective zinc coating adhesion.
- Cleaning the steel: Dirt, grease, and rust are removed.
- Pickling process: Steel is treated with an acidic solution to eliminate oxides.
- Fluxing: A flux layer is applied to prevent oxidation before galvanization.
Step 2: Hot-Dip Galvanizing Process
The cleaned steel is dipped into a molten zinc bath at around 450°C.
- Zinc reacts with steel, forming multiple protective layers.
- Coating thickness depends on immersion time and steel composition.
- Hit Factory ensures even coating for maximum corrosion resistance and covers the requirements of the national & intranational standards ASTM A123 for galvanizing by the hot-dip process on iron and steel products.
Step 3: Cooling & Inspection
Once galvanized, the steel is cooled and inspected for quality.
- Cooling process: Steel is air-cooled or water-quenched.
- Visual and thickness checks: Ensuring even zinc application.
- Adherence to international galvanizing standards.
Step 4: Final Quality Assurance
- Performance testing: Durability and corrosion resistance checks.
- Surface finishing: Removal of excess zinc for a smooth finish.
- Hit Factory guarantees premium quality galvanized steel for all projects.
