The process by which steel or iron is protected by a zinc coating or plating, achieved by hot-dipping the metal into molten zinc or by electrolysis. The galvanized coating protects the underlying metal for between 15 and 30 years, but requires a special primer before coating.
The coating of steel with zinc to help form a rust-preventive surface.
A plating for iron and steel composing primarily of zinc. It may be applied electronically or by dipping the pipe or casing in molten zinc (the fumes are poisonous to breathe).
A zinc coating for steel that requires no painting for corrosion protection. Such a coating has an inherent ability to reflect light. The finish is referred to as "spangle"
To coat steel with zinc or tin for protection against rust. Can either be done electrolytically or by traditional dipping.
a process in which steel is coated with zinc to prevent corrosion.
The process of coating steel with zinc by immersing it in a bath of molten zinc.
Application of a protective layer of zinc to a metal, chiefly steel, to prevent or inhibit corrosion.
An electromagnetic process of protecting metallic surfaces from corrosion or rust. This process is also known as electroplating.
Covering of iron or steel surfaces with a protective layer of zinc (weight defined in specifications).
Electrochemical processing of metallic surfaces. A coat of dissimilar metal is electrolytically deposited in baths of metallic salt solution; the passage of electric current decomposes the dissolved metallic compounds.
An undesirable grainy or spangled condition on the surface of etched or anodized extrusions. This condition is not obvious in mill finish aluminum extrusions but can be revealed by etching or anodizing.
The process of applying a coating of zinc to the finished product to provide corrosion protection. The coating can be applied by hot dipping or electrolytic deposition.
The process of coating steel with zinc or tin for protection against rust. Can either be done electrolytically (see electro-galvanizing) or by traditional dipping (see Hot Dipped Galvanizing).
Process in which a thin coating of zinc is applied to iron or steel to prevent rust.
Placing a thin layer of zinc on a ferrous material to protect the underlying surface from corrosion.
To coat a metal with a thin layer of zinc to prevent rust. Galvanized nails are ideal for installing skylights, windows and exterior doors because of their superior strengthand corrosion-resistance.
Coating of ferrous metals with zinc to add corrosion resistance.
Galvanizing is the process of coating steel to prevent rusting. All steel garage doors are galvanized.
