How the Hot Dip Galvanizing Process Works

Hot dip galvanizing refers to the process of immersing steel into a kettle of molten zinc. The zinc forms a tightly bonded alloy coating when the iron in the steel metallurgically reacts. After the process is completed, the steel is left with a protective coating that prevents corrosion. 

Here is the process we follow:

Preparation
The Beyond Steel team inspects the material before proceeding to the next step: cleaning.
Cleaning
Then, our team removes all dirt and other compounds through our cleaning process.
Hot Dip Galvanizing
Once the material is fully inspected and cleaned, our team submerges it in molten zinc, which causes a reaction to form protective layers on all surfaces.
Post-Dip Inspection
Finally, the newly hot dip galvanized steel is cleaned and inspected again to ensure that the material meets our own standards of quality, while also achieving compliance with ASTM specifications.

The Benefits of Hot Dip Galvanizing Steel

There are several advantages to using hot dip galvanizing as a corrosion prevention system.

  • Save big by using this lower cost corrosion protection method.
  • Get your steel material protected fast using this quick process. 
  • Simplify the steel coating inspection process — galvanized coatings are easy to visually inspect.
  • Ensure tough resistance thanks to the metallurgical bond with the steel.
  • Reduce maintenance costs over time, as hot dip galvanized steel is self-maintaining. 
  • Extend the life of your steel materials to 50+ years.
  • Reduce environmental impact by eliminating maintenance that requires lots of energy.

When you’re looking to protect your steel materials, you need to work with galvanizing companies and suppliers.

There are several aspects to consider when you’re looking for the right fit, including the following:

  • The size of their operations (e.g., galvanizing tools, dipping tank size)
  • Their process for galvanizing steel
  • The cost of their hot dip galvanizing services
  • The grade of zinc they use for their hot dip galvanizing process
  • The certifications they hold in your state
  • The location of their facilities
  • Their reputation with their customers
  • The history of the organization and their level of experience
