Hot-dip galvanizing

Before galvanizing the 1.000 in total will be moved to a ''sand blasting station''. is the application of a metallic zinc layer to iron or steel by dipping it into molten zinc (with a temperature of approx. 450 °C). By this process, a resistant alloy layer consisting of iron and zinc and thereon a highly adherent layer of pure zinc is built up. Hot-dip galvanizing is one of several methods to build up a zinc coat. Difference is made between (discontinuous) batch galvanizing and (continuous) strip galvanizing.

     
 

Normal-temperature galvanizing (NTV)

When steel is dipped into molten zinc at a temperature of approximately 450 °C, a layer of iron-zinc alloy with a variety of compositions and then a highly adherent layer of pure zinc builds up on the steel component as a result of inter-diffusion between the liquid zinc and the steel surface.
