This article was written by KTA’s Tom Neal & Doug Reardon Introduction – The controls required for the hot-dip galvanizing process are described in Topic 1 of this series. In addition to monitoring the galvanizing proce...
Introduction – Hot dip galvanizing (HDG) of iron and steel results in a durable layer of corrosion protection that often exceeds the performance of liquid applied coatings. But despite the metallurgical reaction that result...
Introduction – Galvanizing is the application of a zinc coating to iron and steel by the hot dipping process. The process involves the dipping of both fabricated and unfabricated pieces into hot molten zinc, usually about 840° F (...
Powder coating metallic surfaces for corrosion protection and aesthetic purposes has grown by leaps and bound in the United States and more so in other parts of the world. The use of powder coating on aluminum and steel shee...
