Hot-dip galvanising
Hot-dip galvanising
Hot-dip galvanising is an immersion process, during which the liquid zinc, with a temperature of ca. 450° C, both internally and externally, reaches all corners of the construction or part. The steel and zinc form together a zinc alloy. This protective layer is sealed by a pure zinc layer. Galvanised products are very sustainable, almost maintenance-free and offer maximum protection at minimum cost.
Clever hot-dip galvanising
When constructing the materials to be galvanised there are a few important things to consider: the steel composition and the steel surface that strongly determine the outer appearance of the zinc layer, the welded joints, the possible deforming of objects and composed constructions due to stress and the flowing through of the liquid zinc in hollow profiles.
Maximum dimensions for hot-dip galvanising
Length: up to 25 metres
Width: up to 2.35 metres
Depth: up to 5.5 metres
Weight: up to 18 tons
The length up to 25 metres can be realised in a double immersion process and depends on the width and depth sizes.
The depth up to 5.5 metres can be realised in a tilted immersion procedure and depends on the length and width sizes.
