Prepare Steel Preparing the surface before

galvanizing is critical because zinc

only adheres to clean steel The

steel is checked for proper drain

holes and for the tougher to clean

steel sand blasting can be used

prior to cleaning

Cleaning There are a series of kettles that steel is

placed into for cleaning degreasing

pickling and flux kettles Degreasing

removes dirt oils and organic residue

while pickling removes mill scale and

oxides The flux kettle is that last step

before galvanizing and is mild cleaning

that provides a protective layer

Galvanizing The steel is put into an 830 degree F

kettle filled with molten zinc The zinc

then reacts with the steel to form a

coating The kettle contains 98 pure

zinc and up to 2 additives such as AL

Bi or Ni The reaction is complete when

the steel reaches bath temperature

Inspection The steel is then inspected to verify

conformance of specs A visual

inspection is done to identify any

surface defects as well as a

magnetic thickness gauge to

measure coating thickness
